Philosophy:
When we grow our self-awareness, our self-expression, and our knowledge of resources, we can discover what truly nurtures us. We can then take better care of ourselves and others. With this our capacity to listen and respond with awareness and compassionate action can also grow.
I have found the path of being a mother and a grandmother to be a phenomenal growth journey, and one that has taught me compassionate responsibility. I am grateful for the help I have received along the way and I deeply value being a part of the healing journey of others.
Fun Fact:
I use flower essences and essential oils, especially Pine :), for daily self-care.
