| Bio | |
| “Empowering Change” best describes the nature of my work – in career coaching, book based educational programs, and support groups. It better describes the origin and nature of my life in Ireland – I am an ex-pat American living a thirty year delayed dream of a home and work abroad. Simply put – follow along for some insights into the “how to” get unstuck, start over (and over and over) and just keep putting one foot in front of the other – because if I could make this happen, there is nothing you can’t choose to do. To quote my oldest daughter, “Thank you for teaching me that happiness is not negotiable”. Believe me, that wasn’t the plan, but in hindsight I learned it in the messages and modeling of the wisest of my mentors, counselors and friends. I offer what they offered me – the possibility that I could have what they had: Enough! And if that doesn’t seem like much - enough is that opening view of a medieval, seaside village that was once my dream and is now my home. | |
