Fall has taken me and Wilbur, my Chiweenie sidekick, from Mount Hood and Trillium Lake to the Oregon Coast, enjoying the changing seasons and a few adventures in our campervan. Back home, I’m teaching Nature-Inspired Writing at Portland Community College, reading, writing, organizing, and even raking leaves between walks with Wilbur. I’m continuing to work with writers and community organizations, and sharing stories about the people who give me hope and why organizing matters in this election. My latest article looks back at ten years of organizing. Follow along with our travels, teaching, books, and community adventures at Life is a Journey: https://lifeisajourney.substack.com.

Summer has been full of celebrations and new adventures. We recently celebrated our son Rob's wedding in Southern California, a wonderful weekend with family and friends. Back home in Oregon, I've been teaching a Nature-Inspired Writing course at Portland Community College, helping students discover stories through observation, curiosity, and the outdoors. I'm also launching my second National Park mystery thriller, Murder in Vacationland, set in Acadia National Park on the coast of Maine. I'd love to connect.

I’m happy to announce my retirement as of June 1. After 38 years in Marketing, I’m transitioning to a life filled with creative endeavors, travel, and connection. To a life that’s less about chasing metrics (titles, salaries, countries visited, vertical feet skied in a day) and more about appreciating what can't be measured: friendship, a well-composed photograph, the satisfaction of a story well told, or time spent in nature.
