My Passions
I have always been a creative person. I took dance lessons as a little girl; I won many awards. I took piano lessons as a teenager; I taught myself to play the flute and currently am working on the violin and cello. I sing live on cruise ships with my friends at the piano bar and play sometimes. But my true passion is writing. During my college years, I took a creative writing class with Dr. Furlong that opened my eyes to see things in a brand new way. Writing did not have to be formulas, and poetry did not have to follow certain rules. I fell in love with Poe, Williams, and cummings, and it made me come out of a shell I had been hiding in all my life. I became an English teacher so I could develop the skills in young adults to write about things they cared about. I teach the formula so my students know the rules, but I also teach my students which rules were made to be broken or heavily bent.

Creation Elevations
How many webinars, coaches, groups, and memberships does it take until you can become the person you were meant to be? How much money would you spend figuring out how to create a reality that includes your deepest desires? What if I told you to look no further! That I had the answer to all that you seek, right here!

I Enjoy Being A Life Coach
Most people sleep walk through their entire lives because they unconsciously react to the various situations that present themselves rather than consciously thinking things through before taking action. I teach my clients the importance of taking the time to make sure they understand all the facts related to whatever situation they may be dealing with as well as the pros and cons of each possible decision so they can make the best decision possible for themselves and others.

With Love I Will Grow
For me, the need to immerse myself in nature is strong, but particularly a gruelling journey filled with challenging weather, darkness and danger seems to lift my perspective and connect me with something beyond my physical reality. Endurance exercise does this too, pushing my mind and body towards a void of my conscious thoughts and pushing on towards a connection with nature. This acts as a motivation to keep me moving, bringing me closer to a feeling of unity with the universe.

Living Life
What I'm most passionate about, you ask? Life... That's what I'm most passionate about. The crazy thing is that at one point in my life I wasn't passionate about living. I didn't want to continue to live. I didn't see a future for myself or felt like any of my dreams I wanted to accomplish; that I could accomplish so what’s the point of life. If I couldn’t live the life I wish to live then what was the point of living. I didn’t want to be stuck at a job, or a place I wasn’t happy at for the majority of my life. Growing up we’re taught that we can be anything we put our minds to. We see the world as colorful with no mistakes, but the older we get the more that colorful world turns grimmer and becomes grey. Our outlook on the world isn’t the same as when we were bright-eyed children. The dreams we thought we could accomplish become just what they were; just dreams.

BE RICH
Who would have ever thunk it? That one day I would decide to build my own clothing brand. See, I have not always wanted to have my own brand. I have been a nurse for the past 12 years. Becoming a nurse has given me a better understanding about the value of life. Nursing is a profession that I have always looked upon with respect. I am a compassionate and caring individual with a passion to help people as much as my scope will allow me. I enjoyed building positive relationships with my patients and their family members. Becoming a nurse was one of the best decisions I have made. I have obtained personal growth and career satisfaction. My nursing career has taught me that anything is possible. Although I’m still a nurse, I decided I want more so that’s when my mind started to get creative. It was time to venture out and start building a brand that stood for something.

The Spirit of a Spiritual bath
I've always been a girl who enjoyed the warmth of a bubbly soul soak for hours in a tub. The fluidity of the water swirling around me, help to release my mind for its many daily engagements. But never on earth or this lifetime did I thing I would discover the paramount importance that bathing would play in my life and the lives of others. Long gone are the days of thinking that bath time is just to be enjoyed by children. Or that the only benefit one could derive from bathing was to be cleansed. Over the last year and half, I've come to believe that bathing is so much more, a power tool for connect, spiritual expansion and growth.

The Perfect Lift
A cool rush of wind crisply hit my face as I entered the Bell Senseplex. Who’s ever heard of holding a powerlifting meet in a hockey arena? Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a green space. There happens to be an indoor soccer field and that is where Provincials held. Red and black, black and white, a sea of singlet wearing lifters cased the space. Just beyond a curtain, behind the main lifting platform, you could see lifters being amped up by their coaches, or zoned out by the beats in their headphones. There were others ritualistically setting up their deadlifts-left arm up-right arm up-left arm down-grip-right arm down-grip-breathe out-breathe out more-brace-lats engaged-sit back-lift—warming up for the moment that would define them. I noticed that there were physio tables set up, and a few lifters from the weight class that just finished were having their limbs contorted in ways that would ease their pain. The smell of fear mixed with excitement and ammonia.

When Success is the Only Option
It may not be a surprise to you—the reader—when I say my unrelenting passion is writing. But for many in my life it’s a hidden secret, or an under played hobby of mine. This passion is scary, terrifying, horrifying—because if I fail, I’ll lose the piece that’s always held my heart together.

Solemates
When I was 18, I came home from Hawaii for Christmas. I was kind of lost because so much had changed since high school. My friends had moved on and I did not really know exactly what I wanted to do in life. I went downtown to see the Christmas lights and I met this guy, Madison. There was something about him that made my heart flutter. I went back to Hawaii, but he stayed on my mind. Once I finished school, I moved back home and for years we saw each other and hung out a time or two but it just never felt like the “right” time. Then, on my 27th birthday, the stars aligned. Maybe heaven was betting on us.
