“Together we can keep Mother Nature Vibrant and Alive.”

In 2013, I took a chance and wrote a book. Little did I know how many doors it would open or how many fascinating people I would meet along the way. Throughout my life’s journey, I have gathered little tidbits of wisdom here and there, and now in my seventies, my treasure chest is full of gems collected from experience and the people I’ve encountered.

Along the way, there have been many wonderful surprises—meeting kindred spirits who have shared their own insights and stories. Together, their gems and mine have created a rich collection of experiences: some funny, some sad, but all offering a unique point of view from each collaborator.

Come along with me through these stories and enjoy a virtual journey into the minds of today’s movers and shakers.

Upon returning to the United States, I used my GI Bill to attend the University of Illinois in Chicago, where I graduated with honors and was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. After graduation, I worked as an International Trade Specialist and later as a University Instructor. From there, I went on to start my own business in International Trade, eventually retiring when my health began to deteriorate.

During a period of being bedridden, I turned to writing books and articles, which led to an invitation from Sir Richard Branson to participate in conversations about the future of our planet. It was at that point that I began focusing on my advocacy: “Together we can keep Mother Nature Vibrant and Alive.” At present, I am putting together the SFFTG iNews 2026 issue and launching a new children’s book series.

If you were to visit me today, you would likely find Kevin—my husband of 50 years—cooking up a new recipe and maintaining his absolutely maddening focus on World War II, while I would be reading, painting, sewing, or tending to my indoor garden.
