Autobiography

---

Hey there, for anyone who wants to know a little more about me.... I live with my husband and three dogs in the Columbus, Ohio area. I have lived in and around Columbus ever since I attended the Ohio State University. I have moved away and thought about moving to other places, but there is something special about this area of the world and I am very happy to call it home!  

I enjoy being surrounded by nature — we live in the woods with a stream in the backyard — I am also big into hiking and kayaking.

I also love home design, writing, gardening, entertaining friends and just celebrating life in general. I am a die hard optimist,  I am free spirited, fun loving, compassionate and passionate about helping people find joy and meaning in their lives.

My motto  is:  we should always be our authentic selves, follow our hearts desires,  hold on to beliefs that inspire us and try to see the good in life —there is so much negativity in this world — but it doesn't have to be our truth!

I chose to teach meditation because meditation has been transformative to my own life! Before I began meditating I could not control my fearful and anxious thoughts, they could easily dominate me. Through my meditation practice,I learned to let unwanted thoughts go and calm my mind —I went from feeling fearful and anxious and to feeling at peace, even joyful. Through meditation, I became the master of my own mind!
