Many facets today caused me to reflect upon the relevance of taking the time to be fully present. Present in our lives, our words, and our actions. That sounds a little wonky perhaps, how can we be living a life that we are not present for? Simple, many of us choose this path on a daily basis, we choose to continue this way by withholding recognition, respect, and responsibility from one another. As Robert John says, every day we all decide whether or not to grow, and allow ourselves to be changed in a positive way by engaging in our lives and engaging with one another. The vitality of acknowledging and respecting our intricate links are of the utmost importance in healing ourselves, our communities, and our mother.

Welcome to all 2014 Pipeline members! I am elated to have this opportunity to meet and work with every one of you joining us here in Southern California this summer. My name is Tiffany and this is my first summer working as a mentor for this terrific program. I am currently a student at Pitzer College, studying Environmental Analysis and International/Intercultural Studies. In my free time I enjoy hiking, diving, kayaking, dancing, roller skating, reading, and playing with my dog, Kai. I look forward to building new friendships and sharing this formative experience with you all.
