Some Stuff About Me (in no particular order): 

• I LOVE painting on BIG canvases! Like, really big. Note to self: My next car needs to be able to accommodate at least a 5 foot square canvas. 

• I laugh a lot. 

• I grew up in Niagara Falls, NY. 

• I love chocolate. Especially the really expensive kind. These are some of my favorites, in case you want to send gifts. Yes, they are strangely named, but delicious. These are a close second, and less provocatively named.

• I'm a bit of a personal transformation junkie.  I've lost track of the programs and trainings I've done - from a Master's Degree to a 16-month shamanic training program to several types of hands-on-healing - and everything in-between. 

• I'm 5' 2" tall. (Until 2012 I used to measure just 5 feet tall. I don't know what happened. Maybe painting makes you grow taller.)

• I never really painted before 2011 (just some piddling around with watercolor crayons). 

• I'm a recovering perfectionist.

• I'm obsessed with rose flavored tea, soda, chocolate etc. -- and love to treat myself to a bouquet of light pink roses on occasion. Come to think of it, I should do that more often...

• I helped to start a school where all day, every day kids get to be completely in charge of their lives, their education, and how they spend their time. (www.sudburyschool.org) Other than having two amazing boys, this is the thing I am proudest of.

• I sometimes secretly wish I was a dancer.  

• I'm usually in the middle of at least 5 books at once. Almost always non-fiction. 

• I didn't used to believe in angels, or any sort of spiritual stuff. (I'm different now. But I still wonder what's real.)

• I've known since I was 20 that I wanted to work with women in ways that helped them (us) know how awesome they (we) are. 

• I was a Molecular Genetics major during my first two years at college. I switched to psychology after a little voice told me that fiddling with DNA wasn't going to help people be happier. Seriously, I actually heard a voice. 

• I watch more TV than I feel like I "should". 

• I'm working on giving up "shoulds".

• I am immensely grateful every single day that I get to do this amazing work with people just like you! Like, "blows my mind" grateful...
