From Ruth:

"I live a meaningful, purposeful life in Gresham, Oregon with my, two terrific kids Jordan (18—my son with a side-splitting sense of humor and severly impacted by autism), daughter Gracey (14—a lovely, creative, flag-team 9th grader) and Snickers the great-lion-hunter kitty. "

“Imagine…if someone knew your values and life purpose and was holding you true to them.” —(Laura Whitworth, Co-Active Coaching)
