| Introduction | I grew up in Chicago, and have lived in Kansas City MO, The Big Apple, Madison Wisconsin. Loved living in New York I was there during all the free love and hippie movements. It made an indellible impression on me. I came by real estate quite by accident. I was working for a temp agency during summers from school they placed me at Continental Bank and they hired me, and well the rest is history. In the course of my life, I have wanted to be an accupuncturist but didn't like the choices of schools, there was only 1 choice at the time so I became a Massage Therapist instead. I love it and the fact that I can help people stay in tuned with their bodies and make them feel good is such a rewarding experience. But I am also rewarded in other ways. I love music and growing up in a musical household, made music my second language. I play the recorder, have played the piano although not as well as I would like, tried my hand at the flute, not so successful there, and I sing, which I fortunately am able to make a modest wage. I also love making things. I come from a long line of carpenters and farmers so working with my hands is essential to my joy, along with healing and singing. |
| Interests | I love all things creative. Am a lover of music, all genres. I make and design jewelry, cards and stationery, I collage, knit, crochet, and sew. I am very interested in helping people heal. I am quite interested in people, how they think and live. What makes them do the things they do or make the decisions they make. I have a vested interest in seeing that people are fulfilled in their lives, that they discover their center and help it to blossom. To find joy in the things that we do has such an influence on how the world turns, how we maintain peace. I love hearing people laugh. Can be overly serious about so many things. I am interested in languages and have been fortunate to have a reasonably good aptitude for them, I speak a little Spanish, a little French and lucky me, my husband is Greek and that makes for an interesting exploration into an ancient spoken word. |
| Favorite movies | When Harry Met Sally, Love Actually, Blood Diamond, Marley and Me, The Ring Trilogy, Any foreign film really, What Dreams May Come for the sheer artistry. This list really does no justice to the wonderful films out there that I have come to love. I suffer from Sometimers and cannot always remember the essential trivia of my life. |
| Favorite music | Jazz, Classic Rock, R&B, Classical, Trip Hop |
| Favorite books | The Red Tent, The Four Agreements, The Alchemist, The God Father, The Secret Life of Bees, Anything Isabelle Allende has written. |
You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?
To blow off some steam. I don't know, I sing in the shower because it sounds great and takes little effort.
