    • Interests

      Being the best Mom I can be; Being creative and productive in my day; helping and serving others; and above all to live with an attitude of gratitude in all things, all the time; giving thanks for even the tough stuff. Being Thankful helps me to live daily with joy. The things that make me the most happiest is helping others, and bringing smiles to peoples faces. As an Artist I love the way someone lights up and gets excited about the Jewelry or Art I have created especially for them. As a Yoga teacher I love the way people glow after a good Yoga class, and how they can be transformed into a more healthy body and outlook on life after a season of Yoga. It's that kind of fulfillment that helps me look forward to every day in life. I feel blessed!

    • Close Autism / Autism Spectrum

      Artist & yoga teacher: feeling a need to get more involved. My son is almost 18 and about to go off to college, so I wonder what is next in my life. When I meet SPECIAL special people we have such a strong connection it heightens my desire to help others more. This awareness came about at the same time I was informed of an Intensive training: YOGA FOR THE SPECIAL CHILD. I've scheduled the training and am already getting involved in my local area by helping, volunteering and donating time.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Working with Autistic people, children, and parents of..... Absolutely it works for me, however sometimes the Parents are so worn out that it doesn't matter to them how enthusiastic I am....The SPECIAL people love it though!!!! We shine together!!!! There seems to be a special connection between us.
    • Close Fitness Goals
      Type: Be the best you can be

      Art or Health, it seems I have been involved in. In my late teens I was either an Aerobic Teacher, or I managed a Health food store or Art Gallery. Then I went to College to Study art and have been a successful designer for 20 years. These last 7 years i have taught Yoga on the side, and am about to do a YOGA FOR THE SPECIAL CHILD training.

      Treatments

      Aerobics Working / Worked
      In the early 80's I was an Areobic Teacher...and I really loved the work out with some good music, now it's all about the Yoga.
      Dancing Working / Worked
      I love to spend long hours dancing on the Dance floor...since I don't drink any more, when we go out to a club its all about the marathon Dancing!
      Hiking Working / Worked
      I spend 2 months a year in Az by the Superstition Mountains and there was a time when we hiked up it every week...good for the butt cheeks.
      Running Working / Worked
      There was a time when I was younger when I ran 3 miles a day and 6 once a weekend. I loved it but now I seem to go with the comfortable flow of Yoga.
      Slim-Fast Working / Worked
      I like the protein bars...
      Strength Training Working / Worked
      Weight Training Working / Worked
      In the 80's I managed Health clubs and we did weight training and taught others. I loved it, and still do...but I seem to only have time for the passive these days, as a yoga Teacher that is where I put my energy now.
      Yoga Working / Worked
      Absolutely works and is calming of the mind. Its the union of the Breath and the mind and the Body. Putting all three together in a dance...such control can bring inner peace and good health to the life.
      Walking Working / Worked
      As a Yoga Teacher I demo and then adjust my students to serve. And I have my own yoga practice. As a production Artist I make stock 15 hours a day stopping long enough to go and teach Yoga. I find that walking for an hour at Sunset really stretches me out. Sometimes with the right music I get lost in the great feeling and walk for 2 hours. Last spring I lost 10 pounds winter weight just walking 3 miles an evening...about an hour at least 5 days a week.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      yes, yes, yes....a positive attitude is a key thing to being able to work out, and stay fit. Or if one is not feeling great after some YOGA you can't help but feel wonderful!!!!
    • Open Alcoholism

      After a life of alcohol, surrounded by my parents who were alcoholics, I finally found my way out 11 years ago. I quit beer/Texas Tea 18 years ago. Life is good now... calm peaceful!

      Treatments

      12 Step Program Working / Worked
      wonderful...great tools for life, and for recovery.
      AA Meetings Somewhat Helpful
      As long as i would go and sit and be quiet and listen...if I got too happy it seemed to upset people...said I was in a pink bubble and that soon I would be depressed like the rest.
      Al-Anon Somewhat Helpful
      Felt like I needed to do my own work, and stop blaming my mom... it was good to get educated on her disease though.
      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      It worked for me but the real healing came when i got an education on the disease. It was one thing to not drink, and another to let go of the negative behavior patterns of a suffering fool.
      Sleep Somewhat Helpful
      Quiet time, Yoga or a little 20 minute nap when the brain is in overload is really helpful for me... when the circuit boards are so ooverloaded that sparks and smoke start to pop and fly....I just have to lay down for a minute....instead of drink.
      Willpower Working / Worked
      And study, study, study....and faith, faith, faith. A life of reading and working on self improvement and self confidence...and believing I really am worthy of being happy and loved....
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      ALways the pain seems stronger than the will power to do something about it... so I would find my strength to work out or run or do Yoga...meditate....
      Prayer Working / Worked
      To live in constant prayer turning my life over to GodSpirit every second of the day at all times...and trusting and having faith that all things are as they should be and it will be OK!!!!
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      A positive attitude is the key to success in living an alcohol free life!!!! How can you be depressed and drink yourself to death if you are positive????
      Meditation Working / Worked
      Meditation, Prayer, incantation, affirmations...they are similar to me, and definitely work in this area...
