Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Berthold Auerbach ... "Work like you don'

About Me

Warm, friendly, laid back and down to earth, free spirit ... So what should I tell you about me? I'm an animal lover, love nature and being outdoors. Crazy about the beach ... love to be on a beach looking at woods that meet the shoreline. Like to find beach glass. Athletic ..anything that challenges my body, mind and soul and makes me sweat. I truly adore things that can touch my soul. Love to play softball, ride bikes, rollerblade. I like to try new things and meet new people and spend time with my friends. I like live Christmas trees and real fireplaces. I grew up on a farm and love the quiet of the country and the mountains but can also appreciate the diversity and activities of the city. I hope to swim with dolphins, kayak with whales, skydive and visit Ireland one day. I'm passionate about helping people as I simply wish to spread my message of hope and joy. I'm a cancer survivor and I am grateful for the person it has allowed me to become. I have been fighting it actively for 17 years and I am here to tell you that you can do it too if you need to. There is always hope. You can live with it and still live a full and joyful life, despite any side effects from treatment. I am here to tell you that you are your own miracle. In searching for answers and trying to make sense of my life and my cancer, I found myself, along the way! I have always thought I needed to win the lottery ... I just recently discovered that I had already won ... it is in finding or getting in touch with your true self that you will find your miracle too. I do know now, without any doubt that there is a purpose for everything in my life, it is because of my experiences that I am me. This is why I am able to be grateful. As Kris Carr once said " I would never call cancer a gift, as I would never give it to anyone as a present." My purpose is simple .. that I find a way to experience and express the unique and special person that I am, and to be the best human that I can be. I think fear has been my biggest obstacle ... wow! It is so cool and freeing to now have this knowledge. But I do know that there will always be more to learn, experience and live. Dare to go within and dare to find your Joy.
