Bio

I am a woman constantly seeking to reach my highest potential by learning, growing and exploring. I am the Queen of Reinvention. Having giving birth to many aspects of my life over the last 59 years allows me to experience and know gratitude because of the many ups and downs. I have been married to my husband for 30 years and we have two beautiful children , a son (23) and daughter (19). I am a trailblazer in many ways and embrace the title. I love to write, meditate and explore spirituality. I live by Maya Angelou’s quote, I come as 1 but stand as 10000.

I'm passionate about

Life, Love, Growth, My family, My children, Me, Exploration, Spirituality, Writing, Women's issues, Waking up every morning, Gratitude. Meditating, Nature, Community, Equality, Our Interconnectedness,

An idea worth spreading

We live many lives throughout our lives because we are given the opportunity time and time again to recreate who we are. The possibility to reinvent ourselves is endless. I believe in reincarnation because I have experienced many different facets of me while on this Earth for the last 59 years. I am always open to possibility.

The TED story

I feel in love with TED when I was searching in 2011 and stumbled upon a TED talk that led me to another talk and I have been hooked ever since. When I am seeking inspiration, TED is one of the first places I look.
