    • Interests

      I enjoy helping others. I spend all of my time motiving and encouraging people to hold on without fear. I have most recently finished writing a book that is being published and in the middle of a second book. I am a motivational speaker and life coach, a dream come true. I paint watercolors, trade stocks, dream of playing polo again on horses, play tennis with the ball machine, kayak, travel, especially to Hawaii and Japan, and live life to the fullest with my husband and my children, Max and Mary.
