I really dislike writing about myself, but, I know that you would like to know a little more about me (aside from my thoughts, art, and writing!) I have a variety of roles in my daily life, just as you do, but, here are just a little bit about me.

Because this site is a mixture of personal and business, I am happy to be able to provide more information here than I’m able on my company sites.

Of everything I could write about, my main role is that of a servant of God. I surrendered my life to God about 4 years ago, and haven’t looked back (often) since. Everything I do and everything I am is because of God and His purpose for my life, and I am thankful for every trial and blessing that He has given me. He has entrusted me with a wide variety of other duties and roles, of course, and those have so blessed me.

I am a solo parent to 3 incredible children. I know, everyone thinks their children are incredible - and they are - so, this statement shouldn’t be much of a surprise. My “kids” range in age from 4 to 15, and they certainly have given me an immense amount of joy and pain since their births! However, through it all, I count myself as a better, more whole person through the experiences. My deepest desire for each of them, just as any parent, is to reach their full potential and pursue their purpose in life with every ounce of passion they have.

I’m an artist, and have been for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked in a variety of mediums, each of them having a definite place in my life and my art. My current medium focus is art in metal, leather, natural mediums (such as precious and semi precious stones), and health. This is an area of my life that I am still quite sensitive about - after denying this part of myself professionally for such a long period in my life. However, it also is one of my passions that I’ve been blessed to have as “work” and “play”.

As an artist, I have a tendency to see the world in a different way than many people. I see most everything as an art - there is a sort of dance even to our daily lives, and in combination, life makes great art. Health and writing are arts in their own right, and make for incredible mediums where I can help others and express myself.

I am a daughter of two fabulous people who I am so thankful for - even when we don’t see eye to eye. My parents have always been so incredibly supportive of my art and whatever I chose to do, and for that, I will always count myself as a blessed child. I’ve seen people who have been terribly damaged by their parents, and it raises my awareness of how blessed I’ve been and continue to be with my own parents.

I am also a sister - the youngest of 4 children - and the only girl. My brothers and I haven’t often seen eye to eye - although, as I get older, I definitely appreciate them more than ever. One of my brothers is a fabulous business and life coach, and I often seek his advice for myself and recommend him to my clients. He, like me, was raised to know we could achieve whatever we wanted to achieve, and my clients have found him to be a great source of inspiration and advice for business and life.

I have experienced life threatening illness, and have found my way through it (after years) using natural and holistic techniques. I feel extraordinarily blessed and priveleged to have been healed - but, I also know that if I return to my “old ways”, that blessing may not continue. In other words, I know that mindful living is a way of life that I must maintain for the rest of my life - and I also firmly believe this is a good practice for everyone - including you!

I honestly am not sure what else there is to say. I would be happy to answer questions that you may have (within reason), simply leave a comment and I will answer your questions below.
