About me
I have been traveling this journey called life for over 35 years and here I am. Ready to share, with you, my life as I see it now. My life road is beautiful but it hasn’t always been pretty. My life is a mix. I’m constantly climbing or falling. Most of the time, I have to remind myself to admire the view.
So who am I?
I could spend years answering that question. However, this is my swing or my attempt at this age-old question.
An athlete.
I’ve been a competitor my whole life. I played numerous sports as a young kid but ultimately I landed on a tennis court. Some people, most people just see the green and white lines. The rope netting topped off with white plastic spanning the width of the court.
A tennis court for me created a life of lessons. Learning failure, defeat, and pain was all part of my success, victory, and most importantly family. My obsessive-compulsive tendencies were also nurtured during this time on the tennis court. I’m not certified or anything but I am a self-proclaimed neat-freak and self-diagnosed OCD.
I’m a thinker.
A work in progress with no end in sight. I’m a female and most people think I have my stuff together but I’m a mess just like everyone else. Most people try to hide their imperfections but I wear mine on my sleeves. It’s always been that way.
In my heart, I’m a self-proclaimed nerd and I go to bed dreaming in code. Coding is my love language and it’s what I understand best. Coding is my counterbalance. Well, maybe it’s the other way around.
A Healer.
Working with energy always intrigued me, even more so when I started to feel it flow between my fingertips. I have deepened the energy work I practice over the past 5 years and continue to explore how I can help others with this work. I became a Reiki Master in 2019 and have been working with people near and far.
Moving Forward.
Again no road is perfect and mine has lots of potholes and bumps. I have no regrets and here I am sharing my story with you. So keep reading if you want to see the chapters of my life or just curious to see how everything turns out.
