“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” ~ Haruki Murakami
l have lived many variations of life not going the way I wanted it to, or thought it should. I have resisted and kicked my way through lots of it. I have played the victim, the enabler, the angry woman. I have lived with drugs, alcohol, ADD, OCD, depression, and anxiety. I have lost people I loved and jobs I cared about. And while I would not have chosen most of it, today I wouldn’t trade it. I now KNOW how to find peace in chaos, happiness in hardship, forgiveness in pain, and love, joy, and hope in my life. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t live there all the time, but I know how to come home to me now. I know how to lead my life, create my opportunities, and write my own story. I know how to listen to my desires, let myself dream, and I am willing to dare.
“Changes that are loved into being are permanent.” ~ Dr. Christiane Northrup
For those that like facts, this is for you. I am a wife and a mother of grown children. I have a Master’s degree in Social Work. I am a Certified Life Coach, an Equus Coach, and a Globally Certified TRE Facilitator.
I love: travel, adventure, animals, learning, reading, watching people find a bit of freedom, dreaming up new adventures, my horse, my cats… And last, but far from least, I love my family and my friends. Without them my life would not be nearly as much fun.
