I received my MA from Regis University in “Storytelling Through Creative Movement.” In 2011, I began a blog to offer encouragement to others through faith, experience, humor, and authenticity. I’ve used my skills and education to teach others and to minister through storytelling and dance. For a list of my publications and awards see the “Buy Books” tab on this website.
My imagery and colors on my website and business cards reflect who I am. The butterfly symbolizes metamorphosis – from crawling low to flying high through a journey of livin’ what I’ve been given. The thistle is a symbol of my Scottish/Irish heritage, although I also proudly claim my Sicilian ancestry. The color purple appears in most of my visuals for my brand because purple is the sign of royalty and as a woman of faith, I claim my gift as daughter of the King.
I live with my husband, Keith, in Montrose, Colorado. I’m a mother of one, a step-mother of two and a grandmother of three. I love to travel, write, read, watch all things BBC and spend as much time as possible in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
