Well, first of all, Hello……Thank you for stopping by.

An introduction about how I got to this place………

I was always the quiet one, sadly often misunderstood and labeled some of those hurtful names when you are a teenager… stuck up, snob, aloof.. and the list goes on. The reality was I was scared to death most of the time. As a young girl in events and competitions, I put a smile on my face and carried on but almost always wished I was elsewhere. Don’t get me wrong, I loved dancing and skating, and my parents never pushed me like the way some do. Looking back I just did not feel I was good enough.

This belief of not being good enough or unworthy carried into much of my life. I questioned my ability to do anything with a level of competence and certainly performed with no confidence. Eventually, I found myself able to practice listening to myself think things through. At some point, I started helping others this way simply by listening. Over the years it became apparent to me, and those I helped it was a gift.

I could allow someone to tell me their story and provide them with a suggestion to resolve a problem or concern from a different perspective that worked for them. A type of intuition where it went far beyond giving my opinion. I can feel between the lines of the story, look at any situation from a positive mindset, and make suggestions that spark additional discussion The conversation would continue until a solution was found by the concerned one making them feel good about their own decision.

 I am a bit odd, unique, heck some might even say weird but, I am ok with that! I do get joy from sharing ideas, suggesting solutions, and solving problems by just listening, and the range of topics would surprise you. Over the years I have served on several volunteer organizations where I could both listen to issues and concerns, followed by making suggestions that were acted upon.

With each lesson I learned, the organization I was part of, and the position I held, new skills were added to my toolbox. I mean really, there is a long list, which all comes back to sharing what I have learned for the better good, I do

I designed a way through a conversation to listen to what your search for a solution is about. The process is simple, you present an issue or concern, I listen to what you need to say, and when you’re done I make suggestions. You talk through how it may work, or not. This process is continued until we discover a method of resolving the question at hand that makes you feel happy about your decision.

I have come this far by losing myself and finding myself several times along the way on this 60+ year journey so far.

Going forward, I have some personal goals I want to accomplish but recognize my own journey like that of many others and it continues. I am on the hunt for solutions and will share what is uncovered along the way.

My purpose is to help anyone searching for answers to resolve their difficulties by finding simple steps and solutions that are easy to explain and be copied.

My goal is to share joy, heighten the positivity in our daily lives, and reduce the concern and stress carried in our day-to-day.

Share with me, laugh with me, I know your journey is similar to what many of us may be traveling, and I appreciate the company.
