Hi - I'm new to this group and was called to it because of the buzz it's getting in Portland! I live, work and love in Portland. I've got a lot going on and at my age I should slow down.....KIDDING! I'm an executive coach, speaker, author (don't get me started on Dead Rita!), philanthropist and true believer that ordinary people will accomplish extraordinary things. Thanks for the great forum to introduce myself. I hope to hear from you soon. Vic

    Hi Pam, thanks for your comments. I've written an article on my profile you might enjoy. I never cease to be amazed by what others are capable of. I just met with a woman who thought she was crazy because she sees herself building a school....feels the sun on her legs....can see the vision clearly. And then she finds the organization I co-founded, Itafari, and that we're building a school in Rwanda. And she said she thought she was crazy. I told her, "if you're crazy, I'm certifiable!" Here's to reaching for the big dreams. I hope you have many. Warmly, Vicky

    Thanks Vicki - I appreciate your thoughts on this - we must believe in what we can do and then we can really go and it.

    On a much sillier note, the first time I came to Klamath Falls to testify in a case, I arrived the night before the trial and after settling in decided to look around town. I walked up to the desk at the Motel and asked where I could find the Falls! The look on the teenager's face was priceless. WHO KNEW there were no falls in Klamath Falls!

    I sure made her look smart! Have a great day and thanks for writing. Vicky

    Yes, its a sad thing to admit but there are no falls in K. Falls. But its a beautiful area and cant think of any other place I would rather live in, other than my home state of Montana...:) Have a wonderful day!

    Hi Vicky! Wow, I love what you do. Are you a Rotarian? I just joined the Mercer Island Club in December and I love all the wonderful volunteering we do.

    For the last six years I've also been helping with the Seattle Paint Out a grass roots effort to remove graffiti in partnership with the City of Seattle's clean and green program.

    If you are ever speaking in the Seattle area, please let me know...I would be interested in attending.

    Cheers!

    Hi Helen - yes, I am a Rotarian and also have the chance to attend Rotary in Rwanda. I love Rotary and what that great organization and all that is being accomplished locally and internationally. I do speak in Seattle on occasion and will let you know. thanks so much for writing - and I love the great work you're doing in Seattle. Vicky
