Love big West Texas skies, the unimpeded horizons of the coasts, Austin and my husband, the Rev. Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 24 years – nineteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.

Community Matters 
I was just catching up on my RISE Austin 2012 materials, and read an article about Suzi Sosa in “Austin Magazine”. I met Suzi during the 2010 RISE panel discussion, “Microfinance in the USA”. And even though I was drawn to her passion for ending the cycle of “Payday Loan Mentality”, living in the sticks of Far West Texas, I didn’t know anything else about her at the time. After reading about her love of entrepreneurship, and her wonderful rich story, I know exactly why she left such an impression on me. Suzi is a wonderful role model, not just for women, but for human kind.
