Spring was in the air at the Everybody Eats 2.0: Cultivating Food Democracy conference Feb. 23.

What is #LoveLansing? “It’s an attitude, a feeling, a connector… a MOVEMENT!” But where does it go from here? Is it time for #Lovelansing2.0?

I don’t know how much more unexpected we could get than having a yoga studio on a panel at the Microsoft Social Computing Symposium. Bucket list – check! Last month I had the pleasure to be in the presence of some amazing technological minds as a participant in the SCS2013 event in New York. The

Here’s the latest podcast. I’m a little tardy in getting up last week’s flow. Many thanks to Audra Post for her amazing contribution to the playlist. Many of you don’t know in another lifetime I was an oboist. I was the principal oboist for the D.C. Youth Orchestra and for two years I majored in
