About Me

My journey to reduce stress and better understand the negative effects of worry began about nine years ago. I’ve learned several variations of meditation, the power of being in the moment and ways to reduce the tendency to become anxious with a variety of techniques. Each step I take toward inner peace has kept me healthy, strong and clear-minded.

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances. – Mahatma Gandhi

Internal peace is necessary in today’s tumultuous world. Peace of mind happens when you come to terms that what takes place in the world around you will not change when you worry, become stressed or fearful.

I know that when I hold a place of peace by doing what I can to make this world a better place, those around me will benefit from my efforts. Our daily pursuits such as fundamental self-care, extending love, kindness, doing what we can to help our community and taking peaceful, meaningful action to better the world will benefit our psychological and physical well being contrary to the damage that our mind and body experiences when we’re apprehensive, tense and negative can do.

Silence is essential. We need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us. Thich Nhat Hanh

Let this be a place where you can learn to still your mind and discover activities that bring peace and happiness so you can create a better way of life, experience optimal health and bring a positive, optimistic frame of mind to those around you. It is my mission and purpose to bring light wherever I can.

I sincerely appreciate that you’ve taken time to read what I’ve written, your comments and thoughts are welcome.

Thank you.

I live in a mountain village in northern Arizona surrounded by pine trees and an abundance of wildlife. Along with my creative pursuits, I share my time with friends, family and furry friends.
