My journey as a mother has been rough. I always loved and nurtured my children, but at one point I failed to love and nurture myself. The end result was emotionally catastrophic. Fortunately, miracles are born out of catastrophe, and my miracle came later in the form of my youngest daughter. I have given her a lifetime of love and laughter. She is amazing, and she deserves a better upbringing than what I endured. A final note, I am pleased to say that my relationship with my older children is getting healthier all the time. (I do not bad mouth my exes. There’s no point.)

I have been dancing since I was in diapers. (I cannot attest to the level of proficiency, but it was probably cute, at least.) My dad used to let me play records all day, and I danced for hours. I have had some formal tap, jazz and ballet training, but I prefer dancing freestyle. I used to do choreography, but I find the rigidity stifling after awhile. I love to watch group choreography though. I believe physical movement (dance, specifically, for me) helps transmute negative emotional, physical and spiritual energy back into positive, vibrant energy. So, grab your glow sticks and dance it up with me! Joy, movement and connection = health and happiness.

I am a student with a degree in English Studies. I am obtaining my degree this fall, then I’m off to teach as far and wide as I can.

I write poetry, short stories, editorials and blogs.

I hope to publish a book about my life someday. It’s been a weird one.

Watch this space.

I make art and clothing.

It is going to take me a minute to list everything.

Thanks for your patience!

I am (likely) the silliest woman you will ever meet.

Here’s proof!

Though I am pursuing a traditional teaching credential. I believe I teach best by living a joyful life.

I want to help people learn to manifest joy, and live a healthier life. It’s a latent skill everyone possesses.; It just takes guidance.

I will have video “Lessons” and articles posted soon.
