Introducing myself and my journal: O.C.H.O.

About Me:
I am 49 years old, and today my boyfriend of 6 years broke up with me and I broke my left hand ring finger... coincidence? I don't think so! I also got a commitment from a local community bank saying it will sponsor the mailing costs for another \"positive news-only\" community paper I plan to launch in August (I have three others already). I received this good news at the exact same time my \"dear jane\" text came in from my now ex-boyfriend. As one door closes, another one opens!

I have followed World Pulse since its inception and am honored to be a voice alongside many inspiring women in its mission to help women and girls transform our world.

My Passions:
Hearing and sharing stories about people doing good things in their communities and around the world. I also love raising my two teenage daughters and take great delight in watching them unfold. I also love to dance in my kitchen and row crew.

My Challenges:
Keeping my restless spirit content and maintaining my belief that I can earn a living suitable to support my daughters.

My Vision for the Future:
That my publishing business will create positive change in the world by focusing on only what's good in a community.

My Areas of Expertise:
All aspects of print publishing; small business start-up; finding the good in others and telling those stories.
