Experience

After 25 years as a consultant for companies like Coca Cola I wanted more. I was tired of teaching computers to lead happy, productive lives and wanted one for myself. So I chased my dream - that of becoming a writer. Along the way I became a published short story author, and freelance writer.

Still - it wasn't quite enough. I had a dream of working with other women.

Life has funny ways of moving us along our path to our soul purpose. As I created my writing life, a life coach came along and I found myself in the Yukon, alone and on a trip of spiritual discovery.

It was a turning point in my life. I returned home where I trained to become a coach myself.

Now I work with other women, sharing my expertise and desire to see them successul in their own lives, both business and personal. (And really, how can you separate the two?)

I know from personal experience that claiming our dreams changes our inner world and impacts the outer one.

  • Fairy Bells in Spring

    I celebrated ice-out on the lake a little too early last week -- it was simply visiting someone else's neighborhood for a little while. When the breeze shifted the ice moved back in and I was glad for it. It meant I hadn't missed the sweet gift I wait for each spring.
