Do you believe that fierce love begins at home?

I have been labeled an innovative and pioneering teacher, a supportive and creative group facilitator, who has a great zeal for personal development and spiritual growth. As a former MSU faculty member of 35 years, I awarded the MSU Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching. I now love facilitating writing classes, Legacy Letter Writing workshops, SoulCollage classes, 5 Wishes workshops, and leading creativity salons and book discussion groups for OLLI (MSU), the MT. Cancer Support Community, and other venues that support our growing community. When I am not facilitating workshops or revising a draft of my latest novel, I’m out hiking with my dogs, playing silly games with my young granddaughter, or enjoying Bozeman's wondrous community life.
