I am an Author and Educator. I have published two children's books Hockey Island and the Tail of Grace & Kristoff.
I'm currently completing my latest adult project, ValueSoul: Liberate Your Heart, Mind & Wallet, with an accompanying children's book, Color the World in Love. ValueSoul has been a labor of love for over ten years, delayed by unforeseen challenges, but it remains a project close to my heart. In this book, I showcase the wisdom of 40 global scholars, whom I call Change Champions, and weave their stories into a narrative that inspires readers to make a positive impact in the world. Parts of ValueSoul have already been taught at Boston University, Bridgewater State University and the lessons have resonated deeply with students and educators alike.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, I worked with children to collect illustrations that answered profound questions: What is love? Where do you find love? What does love look like? These heartfelt drawings are featured in the accompanying children's book which carries value statements that mirror the lessons in the adult book. Together, these books form a pedagogical project that can be used in various classrooms, helping both adults and children explore the power of love, positive change and values.
ValueSoul represents an exhibition of the human journey, from self-actualization to impact, and introduces the many positive forces across various sectors that allow us to see the path to care for our common home, and that we are all interconnected.
Part of Story:
“The journey you are on is uniquely yours—an intimate voyage into the depths of your soul, your inheritance, your fortune, your sorrows, your joys, your choices, your perspective, and your freedom.”
“We are fiduciaries of the Earth, society and future generations.”
“With Open Hearts and Open Hands, we choose the path of meaning, joy, and peace. This is the way to a better family, a better nation, a better humanity.”
“We Awaken as Fiduciaries, not only of money, but of life itself, and we transform the use of money as a tool to ‘Empower Stewardship’ by leading with vision, investing with conscience, and acting with courage.”
“Understanding your foundation is essential—it’s the starting point for reclaiming what truly resonates and releasing what no longer serves your growth. This process often requires the courage to let go of what once felt safe or familiar, and to challenge the standards you may have long held sacred. True breakthrough usually begins with breaking open.”
“We believe that businesses serve both profit and purpose, and that the financial system—along with its current value drivers—presents both a significant challenge and a remarkable opportunity for creating new possibilities.”
“Action is essential to sustain impact. As businesses move toward greater transparency, inclusivity, creativity, and purpose-driven engagement, financial markets are adapting to support this visionary approach.”
“It is time for the results to change from quarterly measures and metrics to a redefinition of value that includes the long-term plans and strategies of firms rated and traded among the global market exchanges.”
Funds raised will support publishing, educational materials (redefine business education), social media outreach, and live exhibits of the content from both books. I invite you to join me and the 40 global scholars as Change Champions, making a measurable positive impact on our world. Your support will help bring these books and live exhibits to life and create lasting change for both adults and children.
