This may sound weird to some, but I didn't want to come back here.  I was asked.  G-d, some spirit that I trusted, pursued me, ('cause I was having a great time flying around with my friends and hanging out with my pets), and told me, they needed me down there to teach people how to love.  I remember crying and not wanting to go back.  (Obviously, you see I've done some past life work, in preparation for this one.)  Here I am, with my soul's mission to fly around and spread the LOVE.

That being said, I am on my biggest LOVING journey right now, starting a international, nonprofit organization for kids.  I live in a state that has the highest suicide, pregnancy and dropout rates.  After gathering those stats for a grant I was writing, I realized my mission was right ahead of me…to share the love in a way that resonated who I am. 

My life, up to this point, has prepared me with lessons, given me tools, guided me to see and educated me.  I've been with many kinds of children in my life: ADD/ADHD, autistic, mentally retarded/developmentally delayed, down's syndrome, juvenile deliquents, anorexic/bulimic, suicidal, sexually challenged and confused, homeless, runaway, throwaway, foster, abused, victims of incest, rape, cancer and aids, poor to upper class socioeconomically, angry, hurt, misunderstood, pained, searching and forever changed.  In this journey, I have seen my role as a counselor, “therapist”, listener, provider, rescuer, care giver, healer, mother, empowerer and mentor.  I'm now on this stage called life, to provide a platform and allow others to take on the roles I've had in the past, because I must do this work for children around the world.  My role now is that of a facilitator, visionary, “make it happen”, leader.

It's no accident that I was diagnosed with AD/HD this past summer at 46 years old.  I know the challenges and triumphs these quirkisms have presented for me creatively journeying through this life.  In my heart, I've always been a dancer which has given me my positive self-esteem and the ability to share something that is uniquely me.  Dance has connected me to a pathway that someone has choreographed for me so I can live and be within my highest good.  I understand and can relate to children trying to figure themselves out, therefore it's only fitting for me to start this program initially for children who have been diagnosed with ADD or AD/HD.  Intially, I will also be working with local school and private psychologists and/or psychriatrists who specialize in working with these children and have diagnosed the children themselves.  Ideally, I'd like to work with children who's families don't have the financial resources to provide arts collaborative retreats and workshops, with a final sharing for their parents, families and community.  I believe this arena will give children a place to have found sanctuary, discovery of their light within and a place to explore their creative passions.

My knowing the result will be, children who have discovered a passion and energy within, to go into the world, as whole as I can get them from passing through my life and those lives I have brought to intersect and propel theirs.

My motto/mantra:
Positively dancing and touching one heart at a time with my love.  Welcome to my heart, my friend.

Here's a project I'm working on in Vegas with a couple friends:
