About Me


"When fear is effectually & completely destroyed, your light will shine, the clouds will disperse and you will have found the source of power, energy and life!"
- Charles F. Haanel | Author of The Master Key System
"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 most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, fabulous, talented? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Marianne Williamson
"Mistakes come from acting hastily or from acting in fear or doubt or in forgetfulness of the right motive, which is MORE LIFE TO ALL, AND LESS TO NONE."
-Wallace D. Wattles | Author of The Science of Getting Rich
"We all have the power to be something uniquely great. It is a simple matter of first choosing to seek and find what we truly want to be, do and have. Simple, yet mentally daunting to those unwilling to invest the energy."
- John Stringer

I love music and literature and appreciate several other forms of art.
I'm a spiritualist b/c I believe in a creator, my spirit and a purpose for life and I believe that purpose is to live life abundantly, to wake up to the Universe's beauty, and to learn to truly love!!!! I'm grateful for my life and use it for good! My current motto is "more life to all, less to none" (former motto: "you get what you give").

I think greatness can be defined as helping others and is measured by the contribution you make to the world. One of my contributions is my music!
