TAKE A STAND : Every Child A Dalai Lama
Why do we do what we do? What do we live for?
Our work as course creators often focuses on the technical aspects of planning, design, and production. We don’t often explicitly state our core values because the nuts & bolts of making eLearning, from ideas to tangible digital products, can overshadow our why.
The most casual glance at news and social media, points to the fact that values underly everything that one expresses and creates. So, I’d like to let you know what drives me as a human being. And I’d like to get to know likeminded business owners whose work I can support with my skills.

In Praise of the Humble Marbled Notebook
Remember 1st grade? If you were raised in the US you’ll have memories of writing your first spelling words in a black & white notebook. Your mind's eye will see a classic composition book with a black & white marbled design on the cover and 100 sheets of wide-ruled, white paper.
If you’re like me, you practiced penmanship, solved math problems, and did homework in a marbled notebook throughout grade school.
