: About Me

I recently quit a full-time job to pursue my passions of helping others, spending time with my three beautiful kids and traveling.

In a previous life (about 12 years ago) I was a College Counselor and loved helping students complete career planning and meet personal challenges. I still look for ways to do this, and have hung out my shingle as a Personal Life Coach. My kids and friends know me as the "Idea Person"- the one they ask when they need ideas about what to do about most anything that stumps them. I am now giving ideas and encouragement to anyone who would like to live their Best Life NOW- because if not now, then when?

I also love shopping and sharing my finds with others. I have an ebay store where I sell Mexican Talavera switch-plates and garden crosses. Feel free to browse at:

In my spare time, I love reading books about Success, Spirituality, and fiction by Dean Koontz and James Patterson. I'm always looking for seminars and training programs to improve my skills in various areas of my life.

My family lives in the Texas Hill Country, and we love it here, but our next trip is to California, San Jose and San Diego.Looking forward to it, plan on accumulating lots of pictures with stories to go with them.

Enjoy life, or else what's the point?

My passion is ...

Finding Joy in every circumstance of my life.

My parents always told me ...

To do what I love

My childhood ambition ...

To be a famous Ballerina!

Why I write ...

I love expressing myself in written words, it's so much easier to edit and change than when talking!

My first job ...

Paper Route when I was 9

My inspiration ...

To speak five languages and travel the world.

The day began like any other Saturday. Nothing special, but a loose plan to catch up on mundane errands. A beautiful shining sun and puffy clouds beckoned me to play hooky from the 'plan'. To make the day more interesting, and delay the boring stops, I decided to drive a different route.  I stopped at a traffic light,  and like most weekends I noticed the numerous signs placed on the corners pointing the way to Open Houses nearby.  This day I decided it might be a fun diversion to visit some houses. You know, get some decorating ideas. Driving through the neighborhood I...
