Profile Information

About Me: (at least a couple of sentences; ex: family, interests, hobbies, favorite quote, personal mission statement, etc: I am a mother of a wonderful 22 year old who has been studying in college as a music education major.
I live with my animal rescue dog, Hank, who is part Irish Wolfhound and part Yellow Lab.
I enjoy creating fine art, graphic design, learning web design, teaching myself piano, knitting, reading, biking.
I want to lose weight and live healthy throughout the last half of "my century".
For a year, I switched my career to working in "flexitarian" and raw food cafes where I've learned and shared the medicinal benefits of food created from scratch, with love and healing intention while keeping our carbon footprint on a sustainable path. I have never been happier.
Now I'm back to my graphic design freelance and I love working with clients who are on the same journey as I am, to make the world a better place through our gifts. I also work full time at a local Music Academy where I am a receptionist and front office manager. I love music and it's a great place to hear young people as well as adults who are aspiring to grow musically while learning how to play all kinds of instruments. Music is good for the soul and I am fortunate to hear a lot of talented people.

When a storm brews...there is always light afterward

It's nice to be back with my RFR friends and I've missed everyone. I realized it's been February since I last posted something.

I really enjoyed the most recent Cleanse America 2 and I've become more excited about juicing again. I even got out my hand crank…

Holding your spirit high

It's been a while since I've been on RFR and it was nice to hear Penni say that she is making time to support her spiritual journey. I wish for everyone to do the same...including myself. There's that saying that if you don't take care of yourself, no one else can take care for you.

There's a lot of things going on for many of us. Some good and some not so good. There are some days when you can take on the world after you've had your wheatgrass, smoothie, or a nice glass of freshly…
