About


March of 2007 was a turning point in my life. I was chosen as a civilian diplomat with the Fellowship of Reconciliation's third peace delegation to Iran. The experience had an enormous impact on my life.

I returned home and quit my job selling advertising for a local women's magazine. I was not able to step back into my life at the same point where I had stepped out. My commitment to the delegation, myself, the people of the United States, the quest for peace and the people of Iran was to share my story with whoever has ears and heart to listen and hear and I offer that presentation whenever possible.

I now dedicate my journey to helping bring about a new era of peace. I have faith in humanity. I have faith that we will finally remember how to make a different choice -  one that will afford us the opportunity to live with respect and compassion for all living beings.

 

We fear the unknown. In order to spread awareness and provide opportunities to open doors of friendship and peace, I offer tours to Iran for Americans. I offer a new window to look through - a window that brings familiarity and understanding. I offer an introduction into an ancient land, a cradle of civilization, that is rich in history, beauty, culture and a contagious spirit of warmth from the people.
