About
For 10 years I served children suffering from severe emotional disorders. These children were hurt so badly at such an early age that by 5 they had already failed repeatedly in foster homes and adoptions. I realized that I could no longer stand to be the “ambulance squad”. In 2004 I founded Hands to Hearts International (HHI) - http://www.handstohearts.org/home.htm - as a way to reach the world’s neediest and youngest children with the simplest, most cost effective forms of healing available. Just as important I wanted to empower women in the developing world and impact the root cause of why communities require orphanages – that of profound poverty.
HHI has successfully been working in India since February 2006. There we host trainings for caregivers serrving orphaned and vulnerable children (ages 0-5) in early childhood development, specifically about the importance of bonding and attachment.

That this is the eleventh hour.
Now, you must go and tell the people,
That THIS is the hour,
And there are things to be considered.
Where are you living? What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in the right relationship?
Where is your water?
Know your garden ...
It is time to speak your truth.
Create your community,
Be good to each other.
Do not look outside yourself for a leader.
There is a river flowing now very fast,
It is so great and swift.
That there are those who will be afraid,
They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they are being pulled apart,
And will suffer greatly.
Understand that the river knows its' destination,
The elders say we must let go of the shore.
Push off into the middle of the river,
Keep our eyes open and our heads above water.
And I say; see who is in there with you,
Hold fast to them and celebrate!
At this time in history,
We are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves!
For the moment we do,
Our spiritual growth and journey comes to an end.
The time of the Lone Wolf is over!
Gather yourselves!
Banish the word 'struggle' from Your attitude and vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done,
In a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are all about to go on a journey,
We are the one's we have been waiting for!

Speaker of the Wolf, Fox and Coyote Clan
