Do you know what the words writer, reiki, and retired educator have in common? I do. The opportunity to help people--something I can’t stop myself from doing. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to write and to have self-published two books: The Kitchen Fairy, a heart-felt novella about the strength of a family's love, and Reflections from the Wilde Side, an eclectic collection revealing insight into mental illness and addiction. I’m also honored to be trained as a Reiki Master and to have a place set up in my home to practice. And being retired allows me time to create and give heart-felt presentations. This gives me great joy.

     Hiking, practicing yoga, hauling brush, and playing guitar also delight me. Immersing myself in the magic that happens when our musical friends come play in our barn makes me smile. Simply being with my talented children inspires me, and my artisan husband never ceases to amaze me with his humor and woodworking skills. I am truly grateful.
