Hello There! Thank you for your visit!

Let me take some time to introduce myself. I joined the U.S. Navy 10 days after my 18th birthday.

Boot camp took place in Orlando, Florida. Eight weeks later, my first tour of duty was at the Naval base in Rota, Spain. It was the beginning of my freedom, and total happiness.

I met my husband, Kevin. We have been together 50 years, and have never been separated since.

We traveled throughout Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Germany, Gibraltar, Morocco, Japan, Taiwan, USSR, enjoyed a lovely cruise around the Caribbean, and visited Mexico as well.

Upon returning to the States, I used my G.I. Bill, and attended the University of Illinois at Chicago. I was inducted into Phi Kappa Phi, the oldest ( date) and most prestigious honor society in the United States. Then I spent a few years taking classes at The Art Institute of Chicago.

From there I worked as an International Trade Specialist, involved with the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry, spearheading seminars. In addition was chair of the membership committee for the International Association of Greater Chicago, and active member of WIT, Women in International Trade.

Amongst other rewards, I was honored to receive The International Women’s Leadership Association, in recognition for my contribution to Family - Career - Community, recognized as a Woman of Outstanding Leadership.

In the early 90’s, I established my own company. My work consisted of setting up the International Trade Department for manufacturing companies. Either in house or off site.

I had the great opportunity to teach a class on International Trade at Oakton Community College for 8 years.

This was when my health began to deteriorate, and I received the diagnosis of congestive heart failure, on top of chronic asthma.

Confined in bed, (30 years) I used my time painting, needlepoint and reading. 

One day, out of the blue, I received an invitation from Sir Richard Branson to participate in a zoom meeting. He invited entrepreneurs from all around the world to work on Plan B, because Plan A was leading us towards non sustainable practices.

Stuck in bed, I realized I could help the cause by writing, and that way become an active participant working towards Plan B.

That is when Sustainable Food for the Globe came to be. To date I have participated in the MIT Solve Lab Challenge Team Leader (2016, 2017), authored 8 books, and have 3 other projects in the making, including The Sustainable Food for the Globe Foundation. 

At present I am involved with the Global Citizens Circle.

Since Sustainable Food for the Globe’s inception, I have met movers and shakers from around the world. All sharing their advocacy of healing Mother Earth, and working for the better good of all.

 Sustainable Food for the Globe champions food production, food security, rescuing wasted food, and fighting global desertification.

Due to my fragile health we left Chicago and moved to the country. During the last 6 years, my health has improved, slowly but steadily.

Currently, my health issues are sthma, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, congestive heart failure, kidney deterioration, anxiety attacks, PTSD, insomnia, nightmares, night frights, and cold sweats. That being said, all my body of work is conducted via an iPad, and an iPhone. Bedridden, I enjoy working with over 5,000 colleagues and friends from all around the world.

There is one thing that infuriates me, it is when a person falls into the helplessly hopeless, “Someone should do something!” As civilly as possible, my response is “You are somebody, do something!”

There are so many resources available, just by doing a Google search, one can research thousands of topics, find and get in touch with people and organizations that are already working on fixing these problems.

It is a fact that for every problem we are facing on Mother Earth, there is a solution. Unfortunately the very powerful corporations around the world make sure to hide these solutions, especially if that solution hurts their bottom line.

What do I believe? 1) “Together we can keep Mother Nature vibrant and alive”, 2) “A lion is like the truth, all things being equal, set it free and it will pretty much take care of itself”, and the most important of my convictions, 3) A lion is born to face death everyday, fear is not an option.”
