“She wasn't doing a thing that I could see, except standing there leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.”

I grew up on PBS which means I was introduced to the world of Sherlock Holmes at a young age.

In the mid-90's, I was introduced to  the world of women's spirituality. It was a blessed time in my life full of teachings, teachers, good friends and connection. I have participated in and facilitated many women's spiritual circles the last 25 years.

I became a Reiki Master in 2002 and use Reiki in my everyday life.

For 3 years I worked for Nashville's oldest metaphysical store - Magical Journey. I consider this one of the best times of my life. I now find myself once again in that space and work contractually for Cosmic Connections, a 25+ year old store on 8th Avenue South, Nashville.

I have had a rich but exhausting volunteer life. I served on the board of a private school for two years, on the board of the Families with Children from China for 4 years (2 of which as President), and was the fundraising mom for Nashville's oldest Boy Scout Troop for several years. Currently I act as volunteer marketing and media advisor for SOWN Global (formerly Caring for China's Orphans, a Nashville based non-profit.

The most important book on my bookshelf is Simple Abundance, by Sarah Ban Breathnach. I should say "books" as I have the original and the new anniversary edition.

I love to cook and can often be found in the kitchen. My current cooking obsessions are recipes from mystery books I have read and exploring the Southern cuisines I grew up with. (yes, I ended a sentence with a preposition.)

I am one of those weird people who hates hiking, loves being in nature, hates hiking.

Each year I cannot wait to begin playing Christmas music!!!!!

I don't have a big circle of close of friends but those in that circle mean the world to me.
