Personal Tidbits
I'm an eternal helping professional and a big fan of slowing down and creatively exploring and experiencing life and one's internal world.
SLOWING DOWN...... my morning ritual with coffee, quiet & stillness, cuddles & walks with my dog Zeebo (fun fact- I'm also trained in canine massage therapy), getting outside & into nature whatever the season.
CALMNESS & GROUNDING....being near or in water... using my quasi- green thumb to try growing things both inside & out, nurturing the meaningful connections in my life.
CURIOUSITY....... off the beaten-track travelling, the thrill of getting lost in new places, trying new, weird & spicy foods, exploring gem stones & their energies, life-long learning.
PLAY, CREATE AND HAVE FUN.....experimenting with photographs, textiles & interior design, playing with the written word, laughs with friends.
