I am a kind & caring individual, authentic, warm & genuine, approachable, a person of faith, down to earth; equally a free spirit, possess my own unique sense of style, a visionary, learner, encourager, adventurer, intuitive, perceptive, value to friends/family. I know my core values / non-negotiables.  

When I speak from the stage, people say I have a “quiet power” / a “quiet extrovert”.

In my later years, I earned my PhD in Educational Leadership @ American University, Washington, DC. I AM a Certified Coach; Educator; Writer/Author; Speaker, Military Wife of 54 years & Mother (2 sons). 

I love to read. I love inspiring quotes. I love chocolate. I love people. I love adventure!

I hope you enjoy a couple of my favorite quotes: 

“Be kind whenever possible, and it’s always possible to be kind.”  - Dalai Lama

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride! '” 

– Hunter S.Thompson
