“Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.” (Joseph Campbell)

About Me


Simply another soul walking her path on this journey of life. Totally aware that this journey is its sweetest when accompanied by like-minded souls. An eclectic mix of creative and intellectual...country girl and city girl. A woman opened up by her moments of being closed down by life's betrayals, grounded by her moments of spiritual flight, freed by her confinements, truthful because of the lies, real because of all she has experienced as fake, joyful due to her sorrows, successful despite her failures, gained much from her losses, positive through the negative, softened by the hardness, and transformed with clarity through the moments of being in the murky waters of change.

Emotionally, mentally and spiritually happy and healthy. Fun-loving, active, physically fit, and as spiritual as I am, I am also a very sensually driven woman. We are given life to experience! Mother of three, ages 10, 13 and 30. Owner of 4 horses. Psychotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Practitioner, Intuitive Card Reader, and yes, I am a Writer. And no, I will not analyze you or put you into a trance and make you quack like a duck :)!


A Prophet Soul

You are a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle. Concerned about the world, you are good at predicting people's feelings. A seeker of wisdom, you are a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning. You are a great thinker and communicator.

What Tarot Card Are You?


You Have Fantastic Karma
How's Your Karma?

centerAngel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

My Interests


I really am an eclectic mix of creative and intellectual, country girl and city girl, and I am a sensually driven woman. We are spirits in a body for a reason. A lot of my interests surround creating and finding experiences that lead to the satisfaction of my senses, fun, adventure, and those that inspire my work. To name a few: I enjoy great food, music, concerts, dancing, horseback riding, basketball and hockey games, wine, a cold beer on a hot summer day, rodeo, movies, art, flowers, the beauty of the mountains, oceans, or any of God's amazing architecture, plus the amazing smells associated with it all.

The perfect sunset on a perfect beach. Mountain getaways. Patios in the summer. Fireplaces in the winter. Being at the barn with my horses. Going out with friends or entertaining for the purpose of finding laughter & having good conversation. Shopping for that rare find at a place that is unique. Spending time with my children: going to water and amusement parks, riding roller coasters, taking a bike or horseback ride on a gorgeous Colorado day, or simply crawdad fishing with a string on a stick at the creek.

I am interested in furthering the causes of others. I do quite a bit of volunteer work.

Music:

Music in all forms. Music gives me the ability to dance through life. There is always a song playing in the background of my life.

Movies:

To name a few: Out of Africa, Wizard of Oz, Milagro Beanfield War, Blade Runner, The Notebook, On Golden Pond, Dangerous Laisions, An Affair to Remember, Coming to America, Trading Places, 8 Seconds, Shawshank Redemption, Ruthless People, Under the Tuscan Sun, What the Bleep Do We Know, Zorro (the original), Pride and Prejudice, Music and Lyrics, Sound of Music (I know every word to every song)

Television:

Television is not a big part of my life. In the summer months the tube is pretty much nonexistent. I do like Grey's Anatomy, and find myself caught up in Amreican Idol because my children are such big fans. The Discovery Channel has some pretty interesting programs. A quick peak at CNN to educate myself on what's going on in the world, even though most of the time what I learn I would rather not know.

Books:

Some of the most memorable: "The Prophet", "Man's Search for Meaning", "Lonesome Dove", "The Invitation", "Masters of Change", "Bless Me Ultima", "Jasmine", "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", "Seabiscuit", "Me", "Hope Rising", "The Dream Giver", "A Return to Love" and so so many more.

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!!
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure! It is our Light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us. It's in everyone. And as we let our own Light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fears, Our presence automatically liberates others.
-- Marianne Williamson (in her book "A Return to Love" )


“To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to do.”
“And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet Lebanese artist & poet in US (1883 - 1931)


“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”
“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”
Carl Jung, Swiss psychologist (1875 - 1961)

Heroes:

Oh, there are so many heros! Right off the top of my head I would have to list Eleanor Roosevelt, Joseph Campbell, Maya Angelou, Carl Jung, Kate Hepburn, Victor Frankyl, Christopher Reeves, Big Foot of the Lakotas, Chief Seattle of the Chippwas, The Dalai Lama, Jesus Christ and every one of the the adults, teens, and children I have worked with struggling with challenges and disabilities. And of course my amazing children who teach me something new each and every day.

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.”
"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive." The Dalai Lama Tibetan Buddhist religious leader (1935 - )

“What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.”
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
For we walk by faith, not by sight.' II Corinthians 5:7”
Jesus Christ


“I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
Christopher Reeve (1952 - 2004) Dana Reeve (1961 - 2006)
“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
Eleanor Roosevelt, US Diplomat Reformer & First Lady (1884 - 1962)


“Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered? The wild horses tamed? What will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent of many men and the view of the ripe hills is blotted by talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone! Where will the eagle be? Gone! And what is it to say good-bye to the swift pony and the hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival!”
Chief Seattle of the Chippewas


““History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”
“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”
Maya Angelou US author & poet (1928 - )

“Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair is a totally different thing. A marriage is a commitment to that which you are. That person is literally your other half. And you and the other are one. A love affair isn’t that. That is a relationship of pleasure, and when it gets to be unpleasurable , it’s off. But a marriage is a life commitment, and a life commitment means the prime concern of your life. If marriage is not the prime concern, you are not married.”
“The way to find out about happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you feel most happy, when you are really happy — not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what is called following your bliss.”
“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.”
“Find a place inside where there is joy, and the joy will burn out the pain"Jospeh Campbell

“Faith is the unshakable knowing of the heart when nothing makes sense to the mind!"
Author of Quote Unknown


“It's really all about the experience of simply being alive!!!"
"All you have to do is find your bliss!!!"
Joseph Campbell
