MY STORY
MY STORY
The Journey
‘‘Twenty-five years ago, on my 50th birthday, I found myself surrounded by family, best friends, and our dog, yet I felt utterly alone. My addiction had distanced me from forming genuine relationships, even with my children. Lies, deceit, and a lack of meaning had taken over my life, leaving me with no one to turn to and a nervous system at its breaking point.’’
This profound personal crisis led me on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. I realized that many are trapped in cycles that prevent them from seeing the broader perspective of life. The Bigger Picture was born out of my desire to share the lessons I’ve learned—how to build a sustainable future, achieve financial independence, a balanced life and live in harmony with nature.
I then realized there was something far more important than all of this. The Human being.
This was my calling. I had to go public and let people know, that in every person there is something special waiting for them. That in any situation they are in, there is a solution.
This is what THE BIGGER PICTURE is all about. YOU.

NATURE AND BUSINESS
The Perfect Balance
‘‘I took the day off and arrived at the entrance of the forest depressed and exhausted. After 15 minutes of walking amongst the powerful trees and listening to the sounds of water running over sandstone rocks, my body was suddenly full of life, joy and clarity. I was also downloaded about what lay ahead for me in the world of business. This experience unraveled a love for nature and deep respect for its power and intelligence. A new business was born, based on sustainability, fueled by serving.’’
Stepping out of the material world and connecting with nature is a blessing beyond imagination.
The Keeper is founded on replacing plastic bags with bags made from organic cotton fabrics. Having a background in textiles, I am educating people on how to shop and store produce, using these eco-friendly fabrics that are practical and beautiful and help restore the planet.
I now have a fire in my belly to light the potential of business and how it can be a powerful instrument of change. When the businessman realizes the joy of creating a business that is one of service, the doors will open to a big turnaround in the financial world.
I love hiking, writing poems and quotes, and most of all, helping people because I was helped.
