What you may not know about me...

I find Tai Chi is more than a gentle way to exercise. It is the practice of adapting to change and for me-- a wonderful way to manage anxiety. I practice through the Taoist Tai Chi Society. (about Taoist Tai Chi Society)

~ I'm a Vedic Meditator
That means I sit down twice a day and try to focus on a mantra for 20 minutes. Some days I can't even remember my mantra because of all the chatter in my brain, but that's all part of the practice. I learned to meditate from my teacher--Mark Price. If interested check out (Alchemy Collective)

~ I was a professional organizer for years.
Personal organizing and clutter busting isn't for the weak of heart, but I found it was a great way to help people move forward.

and at Stage Door Manor. I won "Best Supporting Actress"

compliment . He said:
"I was LESS BORING".
