Introducing myself and my journal: Venturing Forth

About Me:
I am one of those people who, because of family obligations, has a job, and then I have a vocation. My job isn't bad and I work with lovely people. However, my vocation, or calling, is to be a writer. My specific calling seems to be how I learn about life by hearing about or telling the stories of people associated with a particular place on the planet. This, not surprisingly, has led me to want to visit almost every village in the world.

My Passions:
Writing, travel, animals, climbing mountains

My Challenges:
Finding a job that pays well that matches my passions

My Vision for the Future:
To empower others to realize their passions, and in doing so share their joy

My Areas of Expertise:
NGO's and specifically governance issues (not just US), editing, grantwriting
