I'm a happy wife to one amazing guy, David, and Mom to our 4 incredible and hilarious kids. I love them so! And our baby is Max, the Boston Terrier.

What Do I Do?

I've been a Special Education teacher for several years, but now spend my days serving as a Lyme Disease activist, freelance writer, Holistic Wellness Coach, and Social Media Specialist. I enjoy reading the latest nutrition and medical findings and statistics.

Nerdy is the new cool, right?

What Do I Believe?

I believe life is precious. Tomorrow is not guaranteed, so I want to make the most of every day and live life to the fullest. Am I saying I'm perfect, or I always do this? No, but this is my goal, and it keeps me moving in the right direction.

I believe that every day is a second chance. Whether you have made big or small mistakes in your life (I know I have!) we can all be forgiven and let others off the hook when they do or say things that hurt us.

And I believe that kindness matters. Random acts of kindness can make such a difference in another person's life.

What About Lyme Disease?

I've had Lyme disease along with other tick-borne diseases for almost 4 years now, 18 months of which I went untreated.

I'm a passionate Lyme activist and have met people who are going through similar health-related difficulties. I feel their pain and want to help in any way I can. I speak out for public awareness and patient rights and strive every day for a healthy life.

To say that it has changed my life and my family's life is an understatement, but I'm learning and growing stronger through this experience by the grace of God. And I'm thankful for my family and friends who are there every step of the way, giving support and encouragement.

Why I'm Here

I want to help people by being a compassionate listener and encourager.

I enjoy getting to know people and listening to their individual struggles and stories. I find people fascinating and enjoy helping others who are struggling or need someone to talk to.

I write about current health-related topics which interest you and me. These include the areas of holistic health, nutrition, fitness and Lyme disease.

Personal Interests

I'm learning to play the ukulele, and enjoy going to concerts, the beach, kayaking, reading and traveling.
