Work: The World Peace Sanctuary, headquarters of May Peace Prevail on Earth International and home of the Peace Pole Project, in Wassaic, New York.

Proudest achievement: Without thinking, the answer is my daughters.

Expectations for the future: Open dialogue among people and nations—peace on Earth.

Local or global causes supported: The Peace Pole Project International and Rotary International.

Favorite thing about Natural Awakenings: Everything! I collect the monthly editions and use them as references or simply enjoy rereading the articles! I’ve sent them to family and friends who do not live in the area, as well. Natural Awakenings is coherent, well organized, beautifully laid out and very informative. You do a nice job of incorporating a variety of fresh, relatable subjects and graphics.

Where I pick up my Natural Awakenings: Magazines are delivered to the Sanctuary each month.

Most frequented healthy food spots: Most meals are home cooked from produce and such purchased from Brookby Farm, in Dover Plains, and McEnroe Farm, in Millerton, as well as in the organic section of local, small grocery stores in Kent and Salisbury, Connecticut.

How I support my community: By purchasing local and participating in community events, donations, etc.

Favorite inspirational quote: I have many, especially from Rumi, including: “Sit, be still, and listen.” “Patience is the key to joy.” “Grace comes to forgive and then forgive again.”

What am I doing to be the change I want to see in the world: My work affords me the opportunity to “be” self-aware and aligned with my thoughts and feelings. I am aware of how my actions show up in my work and reflect back in the way others respond to me. So, it is a beautiful thing.
