For many years I have worked as an RN. I have been in 3 different Masters programs but unable to complete because my former husband was building his practice and someone had to be home "holding the fort" together. Nursing and social work have been my majors. I am presently in a life coach program as it encompasses everything I tend to involve myself in , minus the business aspect. My passions include my 3 children (2 of them are grown), animals, nature and the environment. I appreciate creativity and enjoy watching how it manifests. I love to travel when money and time allows. Appreciating the performing arts is a favorite pastime, as well as hiking, biking, camping, reading and eating great food. My destiny of motherhood has been wonderfully fulfilling, albeit challenging at time.

As I mentioned above I am earning my certification as a life coach. This will be valuable to me in helping others and bettering the world a bit at a time. For many years nutrition and alternative medicines have been interests of mine. I am a Reike healer and practice mindfulness and meditation. Yoga has been a steady practice for several years. Besides caring for my 8th grade son part of the week, I have fun with my dogs and friends.

Understanding people and making them feel comfortable. I am interested in the world and people in it. I am good at supporting and nurturing the ones I love- animals or people. I believe I have put a lot of effort into parenting well. Excuse all the I's.

People tell me that I have a calming influence on them and that I seem wise.

I read books re eastern and /or yogic philosophies. Just read Isaac Asimov's sci-fi - The federations. Surprising because I don't really read sci-fi, but this was believable. I read a lot of nonfiction but also enjoy comedy, adventure and novels re other cultures.
Loved The Elephant Whisperer!

My children in my life, but they are very independent. Nature, especially the woods. Healthy foods. Yoga and hiking. Vacations and some travel.

Saving animals and the environment. How to improve the world is often on my mind.

Visiting with friends or reading. If my son is home we sometimes play board games or I watch a ball game with him if he insists.
