I Am

Ok, I'm gonna update this thing cause I feel like I have really, really changed since first putting this page up....

Who am I? I am a vagabond for beauty. An artist/illustrator embarking on a full time path inspired by the courage and hard work I see every day on this site. I am an entrepreneur starting my own business as of January 1, 2010. I am a mother to a wonderful son and two amazing step sons whom I love with all my heart. I am a partner to the most amazing man I know who continually inspires me with his love, generosity, fearlessness, and curiosity. I am a daughter to the best parents in the world...a mom who survived the depression through amazing wit and courage and a hero of a dad who is a World War II Veteran, Bronze Star recipient, and French Legion of Honor awardee. I am a sister to three amazing, successful, loving brothers who are great fathers and husbands too. I am a seeker of wisdom...yearning to be filled with the awesome light of truth and insight that the universe holds out to me. I am a Reiki Master - a healer who hopes to ease the pain of those who suffer. Most of all I am a friend who will listen without judgement, care without consequences, and love without conditions.

My Favorite Charity

Go Red for Women - American Heart Association

To me, Transformation Means

To me, Transformation means giving myself permission to care...for myself and my health, for my family, for my friends, for people I don't even know. To literally "Be the Change" I want to see in the world. To LIVE that change with everything I do and say. To GIVE UP old ways, thoughts, and habits in order to make room for the sacred light of the universe that is already in me. In that way, being full, I can pour out that light to others.

My Goals

My goals are:

To heal my obese condition by losing 60 pounds of fat.
To become healthy and fit.
To maintain my fitness for the rest of my life.
To become a successful children's book illustrator and be published.
To be able to support myself and my family doing what I love...illustration.
To work toward enlightenment by reading and studying the sacred wisdom traditions of the world.
To spread peace, love and joy to others and help heal the world.

My Intentions

I intend to live a purposeful, meaningful life. To leave a legacy for my family that they are proud of. To make a difference in the world. To become more conscious and aware in my day to day life. To live my life with intent, joy and love.

Who I'd Like to Inspire

I want to inspire others the way I've been inspired by the people here on t.com. I want to inspire myself to be more, do more, live more. I want to inspire my family, most specifically my son, to live a healthy, fulfilled life.
I'd like to inspire other incest survivors that there is hope, joy and love in life if you just do the hard(est) work to heal. I hope to inspire others to reach deep inside and find their own creative spark, ignite it, and dare to create. I believe that when we create we are closest to emulating Spirit (God, Allah, Budda, Godess, Divine Being). I hope to inspire others to take courage, be brave, and reach out to grab the things in life you desire. Be open to receive whatever the universe has in store for you at this moment.
