Jo spent much of her life in conflict "zones". From her home life as a child, to learning to handle fights and bullying in eight different schools, in three different countries; to being a survivor of violence.
Jo learned strategies for healthy living by training in martial arts and Traditional Chinese medicine.
She was selected for specialized trainings in programs with the US Department of State, the US Department of Defense and the US Peace Corps Response team. Jo worked and lived in the conflict/war zones of Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iraq, Israel and northern Africa and has been an integral part of reconciliation and negotiation efforts in six countries.

"A short read, both subtle and truthful. Each poem casts an attentive light for readers to embrace compassion, either bestowed upon themselves or to others. A beautiful tribute to your talented son, Denali and your husband. Thank you for sharing your gift!"
