Suffered huge family loss when my youngest brother drowned in a family swimming pool.

Experienced multiple surgeries to repair leg, including one that required a 50 lb. body cast when I only weighed 60 lb. Learned to walk with heavy cast by saying the mantra, “I can. I will. I must. I am.” Wore a visibly built-up shoe to compensate for growth plate damage to my leg.

Amazed doctors by taking no painkillers while recovering from elective foot amputation to allow for use of a partial prosthetic limb.

Started, and later sold, my own health lifestyles marketing newspaper that served a specialized professional market with a paid circulation of over a million issues.

Married a dear close high school friend.

Traveled across the United States with the Inner Winners Seminars to lead and participate in experiential breakthrough events such as fire-walking, sweat lodges (including some with the beloved Native American medicine man, Bear Heart), high and low ropes courses, speaking, training and facilitating my favorite event, “low wire triangle” relationship event. My deep inquiry and quest for deeply soulful relationships have been a lifetime longing.

Had a planned home birthed of my first child, a son, with The Santa Barbara midwives.

Spent all my energy focusing on sustaining my health lifestyle’s newspaper business, and expanding two other businesses, my former husband’s chiropractic practice and a software technology company for health care providers.

Had my second child, another son, at home with The Santa Barbara Midwives.

Huge awakening while I was pregnant. Cried a lot during this pregnancy as I realized how much unhappiness I was stuffing down, and it didn’t seem right with a child inside me. Where was the discord going? Stuffing it down?

Began really contemplating my life, businesses, and marriage with children. The life I was living seemed different than the life I had always envisioned.

Attended a weeklong Spiritual Cinema Circle Cruise (with movie producer, Stephen Simon who filmed the movies, Somewhere in Time and What Dreams May Come and more). My whole orientation to everything began to course correct with regard to career, business, marriage, purpose and the pull toward my heart’s true North Star.

Journeyed through winding down what had become inauthentic in every area of my life to windup my real authentic life. Decided on marital separation and foreshadowing divorce. Sold businesses. Started spiritual rituals with the full/new moon, daily journaling and meditation.

Had the honor of taking screenwriting mentorship classes with the writer, Jerry DiPego (movie writer of Phenomenon, starring John Travolta) in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Had the privilege of experiencing and listening to the Dalai Lama “live” in Long Beach, California for two full days.

Began working with Jack Voorheis from different sides of the country. Something magical transpired as we fell in love on the inside first before we ever met in person. Click here for more on the love story.
