I have held you
Back in your place
Away from your thoughts
Away from your space
Of honor and grace

I have held you
In moments of bliss
I have pulled you away
Into the abyss
Imagination amiss

I have held you
Captive from your dream
Your heart wrapped up
Away from esteem
Or so it shall seem

I have held you
Back from your hope
Contained in a way
Tied up in a rope
You will not elope

I have held you
As you tried to be
Something other than who
Your soul called out to me
Lost in the sea

You have held me
Captive no more
You’ve floated so long
Holding on like before
But it’s your time to soar

You have held you
Now settle your mind
Seek to believe
And soon will find
You are one of a kind

You are free

I am a true believer in the value of each person. We are each unique and are constantly changing with the pieces of our lives. Every person, place, and experience has an impact. As Founder of Pieces of I, my intention is to work with partners on purpose-driven projects and to empower people to follow their passion. My diverse background in supply chain, product, and partnership management has enabled me to see business from many viewpoints. Translating complex topics to help others understand is something that comes naturally. I love photography, and to write about life, business, and values. Sometimes these topics intermingle, just as they do in our day to day lives. Respect, compassion, and kindness weave throughout my stories because they are the pillars of who I am, and what matters to me. I am inspired by connection and the seemingly impossible. My inspiration comes from growing up in a large multinational family. Now as a mother of four, amazing, adult children I have the benefit of sharing the "teacher/mentor" baton with my kids, who are in return showing me a whole new aspect of the world from their viewpoint. Learning is endless, and helping others is one of the most important things we can do on this planet.
