About me
Life story
I've practiced law, run several businesses, been a stay-at-home mom, and worked in social services, but I've come to realize that my true calling is to help others recognize that the power of their own minds holds the key to overcoming obstacles and living the lives of their dreams.
All my life I have been fascinated with the human mind and its connection with nightly dreams.
I set out on my quest to learn more about the human psyche and the factors that contribute to some people's success in life while others struggle to find their own personal success formula.
The question is why some people seem to breeze through life while others seem to have a tough time of it.
I kept wondering: "What exactly is happiness? Why do we dream? What is our purpose? ".
Dreams have been and continue to be the most important guide for me as I seek those answers.
