CURRENT MISSION

To find as many off the beaten path farms, farm stands, local restaurants, and waterfalls/lakes as possible and then be able to find my way back to where I was....may be challenging!

ABOUT ME

I try to love most everything that I do, including my work where I spend a great deal of my time. I work mostly with children who have autism as well as children who may have speech or language difficulties.

In addition to my work, I really try to enjoy my free time as much as possible. I am in a constant juggling act between caring for myself and caring for others. I LOVE to cook with organic local produce, go to the farmer's market, and make meals with and for others. I am easily amused! I see service as an integral part of my life so some of my free time is spent volunteering in Hospice.

I am always looking for another adventure and try to stay active. I try most things once, twice, or longer and in the past couple of years that has included: going zipling, taking Kundalini of sound yoga, taking Djembe Drum classes, doing a 5:30 am boot camp, eating and making a lot of new ethnic food, going to a lavender festival, getting rid of my TV to make more time for my life, juicing raw veggies, changing my diet drastically, increasing mindfulness, decreasing my possessions, living in a house with 5 roomates, and living alone.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to fulfill my purpose, to learn, to teach, to serve, and to grow! I have fun and meet amazing people in the process!

Teach, Learn, Share
