One of my college dreams was to be a TV news reporter. It was maybe my 2nd or 3rd major in college, and I felt “at home” as a Mass Comm (communications) major.
I wanted to be the talented, smart and pretty woman in front of the camera. I worked really hard at writing and developing [...]
I can’t believe it’s come and gone! Last week I attended the 12th World Conference, hosted by the International Institute for Restorative Practices. It was AMAZING! My first IIRP conference was in 2002 (the 3rd IIRP conference). That is where I first met IIRP President Ted Wachtel, as I mentioned in another post, he impressed [...]
I really respect and appreciate the work at Restorative Justice Online. As part of the Prision Fellowship Internation and The Center for Justice and Reconcilliation the Restorative Justice blog is awesome.
Dan VanNess and the other correspondents do a terrific job of combing the internet and brining together articles, review, opinions and writing helpful articles themselves.

Life is about balance, learning and growing along the way, continuously making improvements as a person.
I need to share a few things today.
I removed a post where I offered my views and opinions on drug court. I removed it because there is more to the story. I did not mean to diminish, insult, offend or [...]
Today in Bikram Yoga, the teacher introduced me to a new term. “Yoga Buzz”. We do a pose that gets your heart pounding like you ran up a set of stairs. In reality it’s a backward bend in 104 degree heat. I love it. It’s not for everyone. In one class I remember thinking “am I [...]
Seth has a great blog, link to this post, here.

When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.
When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.
When you leave the world a better place than you found it, [...]
I am a twitter-er. A twitterbee. Right now I am following 600 people and I have almost 400 people following me. I follow people based on interests in Bikram Yoga, Nonprofit, Restorative Justice and personal growth. I have few writing and public speaking connections as well.
The thing I like about Twitter – is that you [...]
I am just back from an awesome vacation! I took off the end of last week and the beginning of this week. I traveled back to South Dakota, to the family farm. We celebrated my Dad’s 70th birthday. Most of the weekend was a surprise to him. My stepMom, really did it up, getting a [...]
Parents who have lost a child are my friends. Not lost, like I don’t know where they are. Lost as in deceased, suddenly from a car crash, deceased. I want the future book “On the Road Together: Safe Teen Driving” to be for these parents. I have an allegiance, a care, a concern for parents [...]
I had some leisure time today, so I was watching TED video’s. I love watching the speakers to pick up public speaking skills and the content is always excellent. You learn a great deal watching anything on TED.
It had been awhile since I had done this, the on-line time in my life used to be [...]
