Soon my book will be available! Becoming a World Citizen: A Guidebook for a Global Perspective! Stay tuned. Shortly after 9/11, I changed my profession from real estate management to building and serving my community In a different way. I became active in non-profit organizations working towards creating positive change in the world, primarily the work of Vermont Peace Academy. I have found the Peace Academy's work focuses on what is right in the world more than on what is wrong. I have organized many youth trips to United Nations for the celebration of International Day of Peace. In 2004, I traveled around the world with my husband and our 15-year-old daughter. Since that time, my publications and presentations have included topics such as: World Citizenship, Qualities of World Citizens, and Traveling as if Communities Mattered. In 2010, I lived at Buduburam Refugee Camp (West Africa) for one month. I founded One Step One World. We were a micro-lending organization with a sewing school and an adult literacy program. In 2012 we stopped our programs because most refugees returned home to Liberia. I worked 10 years for Vermont Migrant Education returning to Vermont dairy farms (I grew up on a 35 head Jersey farm and I used to be a milk tester) as an English teacher and support person to migrant workers. This work has simply been the Best! I have former students who now have families and are successful business owners back in their home countries! Since 2018 my husband and I have been working together to renovate houses. We are having great fun working side by side. We also moved to a Federal Style Brick house just a few miles from my childhood farm and we opened Homestead Antiques & Collectibles. Life is good.
