About Me.....
Over the years I have worked in a variety of career settings from teaching to massage therapy to health promotion. Often in the past I have felt the need to apologize for this believing that perhaps there was something wrong with me for never settling into one chosen field and gathering expertise there. Now however I think differently believing that the skills and experience I have gained along life's way have shaped me perfectly for the life that I live now ....in THIS moment!
My life is a RICH tapestry and throughout it three threads dominate the pattern: CREATIVITY; COMMUNICATION and HELPING OTHERS.
Now I am in the fortunate position to be able to combine these threads in a new venture which involves a life long PASSION of mine. As long as I can remember I have loved to read and write poetry. I love the sound of words and the ability they have to stir emotion and passion. Now I am in a phase of my life where I can devote more time and energy to my writing and actually use it to reach out to others in ways that I hope will be nourishing and helpful to them. Hence the CREATION of this web site.
It is my INTENTION to reach out to others with WORDS that will heal, nurture, inspire, provoke, challenge and encourage them to EMBRACE LIFE from a perspective of JOY.
What else might you like to know about me?
I am married to a WONDERFUL man who is the love of my life and definitely proof that good things are worth waiting for!
I have two AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL daughters who I CHERISH with all my heart. They LIGHT up my world.
I am the proud Grandma of Alexzander and Poppy .....the two most adorable little children in the whole world and both are my greatest teachers.
My interests include: calligraphy, art, decoupage, meditation, scrap booking, photography, walking
I Absolutely ADORE carrot cake!
I have always been PASSIONATE about learning and I'm never happier than when I have my nose stuck in a book!!! What do I like to read??? Well I like gentle novels and anything to do with personal growth, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, holistic health - that kind of stuff and of course POETRY.
I am surrounded by SUPPORTIVE and SPECIAL people - both family and friends. These are too numerous to mention but if you are reading this then you know....... I mean YOU!
I am GRATEFUL for my life, just as it is NOW!
