About Me
What I’m Grateful For
The awareness that I have choices.
The healing and regulating gift of creativity.
Finally attaining some better tools for life.
Learning to be gentle with myself and the extravagant kindness of God.
I Wear Many Hats
Wife, mom, grandma, coach, consultant, and artist - and each one has shaped my journey in profound ways.
In the past, my harsh inner critic was a pro at reminding me to be careful, to make sure, to try harder, and to do more. Most of my life, I’ve felt like I’ve been waiting to exhale and let my shoulders drop. My main objective was to change others or things outside of me.
The phrase, “Let it begin with me,” nudges me to remember that I’m the one I’ve been waiting for.
My inner critic is still there, but is shrinking little by little. Practicing presence and permission to be messy feels so much better to my body and is way more fun!
I reside in the Southeast with my husband, Brian, whom I’ve been married to for over 30 years. I’m in my 50s, and I believe I’m just getting started!
When I’m not on my sunlit porch creating art or consulting, I am probably involved in one of these passions: cold plunging, yoga, long walks, or traveling.
This serious, color-inside-the-lines kind of girl is so grateful for her invitation to play and be messy.
Not all of life is so high stakes, and it sure isn’t linear. Painting outside the lines while embracing humanity helps us find rest within ourselves.
