There’s a Japanese philosophy known as wabi-sabi that I have long aligned myself with.
In the simplest of terms, it means to fully embrace and appreciate the unique beauty and resilience that comes with age.
In the art of kintsugi, Japanese artists repair broken pottery with golden glue, healing a new piece together that is even more beautiful than it was before.

As a widow and single Mom of two teen daughters, the dream of Call to Action Stories was the golden glue that kept me together.  

After a 25+ year career as a direct response commercial producer and fundraising video producer for nonprofits, I finally took the leap to form my own video marketing agency.

With the formation of Call to Action Stories, my guiding light is to amplify the dreams and impact of women founders in both the for-profit and nonprofit worlds. 

I am so grateful for my daughters, friends and all those who have cheered and supported me on my journey thus far. This is truly my ikigai (yet another Japanese philosophy I love), combining what I love to do with what can be of service to others.
