Notice. Stay. Connect. Reflect. Carry Forward
Welcome.
I'm really glad you found your way here.
Follow the Firefly began with a simple observation: the moments that shape us are rarely the biggest ones. More often, they are the ones we nearly miss.
This is a place to notice those moments — through stories, reflections, practical tools and resources designed to support connection, reflection and meaningful engagement. Some of what you’ll find here grows from my work in dementia care; some from music, travel, family, learning and the ordinary moments that ask us to pay attention.
My hope is that something here helps you pause, connect, reflect — and carry something useful forward.

The Ripple Effect
One teacher. One moment of encouragement. A lifetime of influence.
A music teacher once saw something in me that I couldn't yet see in myself. Decades later, that simple act of encouragement continues to shape my work, my music, and the way I connect with others, particularly in the context of senior care. This experience has influenced my reflective practice in areas like dementia care, where understanding individual moments can have profound effects on quality of life.
