Always the citizens’ hat on. In work combined wth a professional hat… Picture by my friend Esther Cazant

I really love my life again. After a quiet and reflective year full of sorrow, I am dancing with my feet in the sea again. 2022 has been a year of aggressive breast cancer and losing my best friend to cancer

I survived. And I’m sooooooo grateful I often cry…

Now Mike and I have returned to our business, professional, international, digital nomad, and university lecturer life. I do education and inspiration because I see so many solutions for our times, it’s my job to get them out there. So, I work and I dance with my colleagues too…

I’m an activist for healthy seas, soils, souls, and regional economies

I’m more dedicated than ever to spending my remaining years on the good stuff. Redesigning our world with ESG (environment, social, governance) and entrepreneurship. Big, flowy, interconnected business

Building digital twins of the Greek bay so we can dive into the sea without even learning how to swim!

The children with cancer I met in the hospital are still on the back of my eyelids when I close my eyes at night

If I don’t share my vast wisdom now? WHEN? And WHO?
