“I've known Jill Foster since 2009, and she's given me great public speaking tips over the years. So when the opportunity finally arose to take part in a public speaking boot camp, I simply couldn't pass up the chance. The help she'd given me already helped me overcome my remaining fears about public speaking in real, practical ways. Now I was going to her hoping to get my technique nailed down. To say that the experience was transformative would be an understatement. I had a very specific issue I needed help with, and even though I was taking the boot camp with two other ladies, I felt like I was getting one on one attention the entire time. Whether you're just taking the first few steps towards speaking in public, or are hoping to sharpen/refine skills you have already, working with Jill is an excellent value, worth every penny.”

Community storytelling salon

Out of delight for how simple, true life stories can bring community together, I started this thematic-driven, informal story salon in hopes to create a distinct and fun listening environment where we can share perspective and “just be” (and enjoy pastries!).
Inspired by a favorite quote: “Wherever my story takes me no matter how difficult the theme, there is always some hope & redemption.” (Michael Morpugo) -

Geometry of Emotion: Memories inspired by Washington, DC architecture
Self
I wrote an ebook about my love of Washington, DC architecture and memories of 20 years immersed in life here.
Plus the fact is...geometry and space achieve incredible beauty.

This is why I love architecture so much. Intimately observing it has a powerful and meditative effect.
After living in Washington, DC for years, I started taking early morning walks to clear my head and exercise. During those walks, the city’s exquisite structures began to stand out. For whatever reason, I had not fully noticed what amazing architectural environments this town offered until that time. So my camera became a way to discover and share.
There are certain buildings and spaces here that captivate my heart, both for their artistry and for how they draw out my inner ponderings. This little book is a trip down those emotional avenues and memories of living in Washington, DC, while visually relating to some of this town’s beautiful architecture.
Each page reflects an image with a splice of poetry, observation, or vignette of the past.
The collection is grouped in five sections:
Adjacent to spiritual questions
Diameter of ambition
Fallen angles
Circumference within
Areas in the wake
This is not an all-inclusive architectural guide of the District. I offer it though with great affection for this city’s design and the vibrant, aching, blessed life I’ve experienced here. -
