About
Hi,
I live in Aurora Ontario, just north of Toronto. I’ve been working in community development and youth work for quite some time. I love this field because it’s important work and the challenges of facilitating change on many levels are exciting and stimulating to me.
This blog is a blend of my interest in online/networked learning, communities of practice and my social (family, friends, fun) interests. My career work centers on community development, program design/development and youth work. I am employed as Manager, Canadian Programs with Street Kids International.
My project at Street Kids International is called Streetjibe - linking youth poverty solutions. It’s a community of practice that brings youth workers from diverse sectors together to learn from each other and develop new skills and strategies to engage youth who are experiencing poverty and homelessness.
My outside interests are tennis and participating in a variety of community volunteer roles. I chose my Blog title recognizing that I’m really made up of light energy and part of the greater cosmos. It’s like Albert Einstein says “Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune intoned in the distance by an invisible player”.
