Who Am I In the Lives of Children?

The answer to this question was placed in my heart and soul as a child.  It seems that I always knew that I would be a heart space, a voice, and a nurturer of and for children. I started out as an Early Childhood teacher, which eventually evolved into teaching college and training teachers to teach children.  While doing this work as my main focus for over 30 years, that work has evolved to what I have been called to do at this point in my life. My intention for this work is to be an advocate for children and parents. 

My work as a parent educator is to provide a space and support system that will enable parents to realize that they hold in their hands the most wonderful gift that can be part of the human experience when they become a parent.  In my book, “Embracing the Gift of Parenthood”, my focus is to provide the tools and opportunity to reflect on what is to be a parent and to guide them through that experience. Parenting must come from the heart and you never realize your full capacity to love until you have a child that touches the strings of your heart. My consultation services are referred to as, “Parenting from the Heart”. I call it- “Heart to Soul Parenting”.

My work as a child advocate is to reach out to the world and be a voice to re-imagine who we think children are and what they need in order to be happy, healthy, whole human beings. The book I am working on now emerged from a document I created to push for the “Bill of Rights for Children”.  My initial intention was to utilize the elements as a platform for a mission for activism, but then it became obvious that I needed to write a book that could hold the urgency and longevity of the “Call”, to a larger more global audience to move the “work” forward. Thus I am writing the book entitled, “ The Global Covenant to Protect the Sacred Lives of Children”. This is now the work that I have set my intentions for -advocating for children into a better world where our global collective realize that children must be every nations priority. When we hold them in our consciousness as our priority, everything we engage in and endeavor to accomplish is done in context to – How will this impact humanity and ultimately “our children”.
