អំពីអ្នកនិពន្ធ
For the first half of Keith Ruffner’s life, he lived a traditional lifestyle as a corporate executive. There were happy moments with his kids, but he didn’t know how to express those moments of happiness. In January 2020, with his children grown, he semi-retired to focus on creating a happy and fulfilled life. He volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate® (CASA) to help children who have experienced abuse or neglect, raised funds for BuildOn to help build a school in Nepal, and volunteered as an animal keeper aide for the Dallas Zoo. His new lifestyle afforded him the opportunity to take a trip to Spain and walk a portion of the Camino de Santiago, meeting the most wonderful people along the way. He is an avid reader of Thích Nhất Hạnh and other compassionate thought leaders. The interpersonal connections he has experienced since semi-retirement encourage him to believe the human values displayed by the bunnies in this book can improve the world.
