Whatever your reason for visiting with me, I hope that you enjoy your time and your experience here. I am a Citizen of the World, currently residing in Oregon. The vastness of cultural diversity fascinates me and I'm always seeking to understand other people more. Most of my career has been spent in International Business, but lately I've opted to slow down a bit and enjoy redirecting my focus to

project management, poetry and enjoying my family. Yes, I'm married and have two children, a dog and two cats. Poetry, and short stories, are another way for me to connect to more people on a deeper level.

My mom finally followed me!!! I mean, publicly 😁 I get my sense of humor, and my wisdom, from her.

This might resonate with those who've lived life away from their homes, away from the cultures they were born to. I have just reached that point where I can't resist the pull anymore. It's good to be back.

My Cradle Of Humanity

There’s a deep magic in the soil
From whence I hail
Something old
Something
New

There’s some power in this land
That pulls my soul like an old
Elastic band that’s been
Stretched too
Far

A land that holds power over me
That once drank my blood
And holds claim
To my
Life

A hold so strong it hurts to resist
That keeps a part of me
It calls my name, and
Like a magnet
Pulls me
Back

We caught them on camera again on the way back up the pass. So many cute babies!

We caught them on camera coming down the pass today! They were grooming in the sunshine and eating young protea flowers.
