IN THIS ISSUE: Wrote about playing on a travel ice hockey team as an adult. “I never would have imagined that at 45 years old I would be playing in travel ice hockey tournaments and feeling the adrenaline of competition like I did when I played collegiate soccer. It is a welcomed sensation that blends fond memories with new adventures.” WHAT SHE DOES: She is the co-founder of LiveMudita, a consultancy that works with nonprofit and small business clients to grow their revenues, focus on anti-racist learning and communicate their mission. HOW SHE SPENDS HER TIME OFF THE ICE: Chasing after her 2-year-old twin boys and 4-year-old son while keeping up with her other five children (ages 12 to 24), raising backyard chickens, writing a memoir, managing vacation rental properties and helping others plan travel experiences.
