About: After the 9/11 attacks in New York City and my home base of Washington, DC, society focused on 'Ground Zero.' I felt they were missing the point: The world as we knew it was forever changed, not destroyed. Each ONE of us was being called to step up to refashion this new world. That's why I created Ground One LLC: to connect, coach, and collaborate with people all over the world--to build a better world. I'm a journalist, speaker, intuitive coach, book coach, and humanitarian. I'm also the author of the award-winning multicultural novel THE SHORES OF MY SOULS. Together, let's create a little more peace.
