Envisioning Possibilities  

Relationship

Finding a lover—In a romantic relationship, a lover displays a range of characteristics and behaviors that demonstrate affection, commitment, and emotional connection toward another person.

Volunteer and Give Back

– Get involved in volunteering activities or community service, which allows you to contribute to a cause you care about and connects you with like-minded individuals who may share your values and passions.

Here are some organizations and initiatives that have a worldwide impact on both the environment and humanity, where you can volunteer your time and contribute to meaningful causes that are important to you:

WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature

– WWF is one of the world’s largest conservation organizations, working to protect wildlife, habitats, and the environment worldwide. They offer various volunteer opportunities, including fieldwork, advocacy, fundraising, and community engagement.

UN Volunteers

– UN Volunteers contribute to peace and development projects worldwide, working with United Nations agencies, governments, and grassroots organizations. You can volunteer your skills and expertise in environmental conservation, disaster relief, education, health, and human rights.

Greenpeace

– Greenpeace is known for its campaigns to address environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation, and ocean conservation. They rely on volunteers to support their advocacy efforts, participate in direct actions, and raise awareness about local, national, and global environmental issues.

Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières)

– Doctors Without Borders provides medical assistance to people affected by conflicts, epidemics, natural disasters, and other emergencies worldwide. They recruit medical professionals, logisticians, administrators, and other volunteers to support their humanitarian missions in diverse contexts.

Rotary International

Rotary International is a global humanitarian organization that fosters peace, fights disease, supports education, provides clean water, and promotes economic development. Founded in 1905, Rotary unites business and professional leaders to address pressing community and international issues through volunteer service and fundraising. Its signature project, the PolioPlus program, has played a pivotal role in the near-eradication of polio worldwide. Rotary’s extensive network of clubs in over 200 countries enables it to tackle diverse challenges, from local community improvements to large-scale global initiatives, all driven by its commitment to service above self.

As a member of Rotary for over 20 years, I know about the work worldwide. I can attest to the personal relationships built from working together.

Branding

Branding isn’t built in a studio—it’s built in the moments between meetings, at networking events, and even while waiting for your latte.

From Drawings to Dialogue

Designers aren’t just visual thinkers—we’re translators of imagination.
When you can turn drawings into dialogue, every presentation becomes a partnership.

How Humor Can Lighten the Room

A smile can make your design pitch twice as memorable. Humor, when done right, isn’t about being a comedian it’s about being human. A little laughter reminds everyone that design is supposed to bring joy, not stress. So the next time you walk into a presentation, bring your sense of humor along with your fabric swatches. You’ll leave behind not only a beautiful concept but also a positive impression.

Perspective

He who hunts for flowers will finds flowers; and he who loves weeds will find weeds.  ~Henry Ward Beecher It is all about perspective.  From Sesame Street. “ Where you put your eyes, that’s about the size of it”
