About Me
I am fifty-eight but young at heart, a writer, an artist and a Pilates teacher. I am also a partner and a mother, a breast cancer survivor and recently recovering from back surgery. I see myself as a vibrant introvert, fascinated by nature, dreams, Jungian psychology and different forms of Spirituality...anything that moves one towards wholeness with the Divine.

Favorite Quote:

"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all time, the expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and wlll be lost. the world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable, nor how it compares with other's expressins. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open."
- Martha Graham
