As a lifelong student of society and culture, I write books … nonfiction, poetry, and the occasional short story. Yes, like many authors, I even have a few draft novels in a drawer! Otherwise, I spent many years working with nonprofit organizations. My undergrad years were spent at Stephens College, and I did my graduate work in sociology at Iowa State University. Focusing on complex organization (systems theory, org development, etc.), I enjoy project design & management, along with staff and board development.
BY LOGIC AND REASON WE DIE HOURLY.
BY IMAGINATION WE LIVE.
–William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
Welcome to my sunny room … a creative, sunny space for kindred spirits since 2010.
A sunny room isn’t about always being upbeat, energized, or falsely positive. Rather, it’s about
exploring topics that take us beyond the contentious nature of the world: the noticeable
penchant for conflict, negativity, acrimony, controversy, and drama. Surely
there is more to life than a continual flow of surface distractions, right?
