MARY LOU'S BACKGROUND
I've been showing up as myself since I can remember. Life adventures so far include:
- Camping in a tent with my family each summer on a lake in Maine until my dad fulfilled a dream and built our camp with his own hands -- now we "camp" in rustic luxury.
- Working as a white water rafting guide on the Kenai River in Alaska when I was in college.
- Climbing the Great Wall of China.
- Teaching high school and college English classes for many years until the call to venture out on my own became too loud not to heed.
- Cycle touring both islands of New Zealand.
- Building several businesses in different categories.
- Raising two smart, confident children who have become capable citizens contributing to the world.
- Writing and self publishing interesting books -- of my own and for others.
- Showing up behind the mic each week with a new guest who always has several distinctive stories to share.
- Faithfully cheering for my beloved Oregon Ducks during good times and bad.
