Welcome!
As a Michigan native, author, educator, speaker, counselor, and lover of travel, animals, and adventure, I now live in North Carolina with my husband, Daniel. We are owned by our kitty, Oliver Monkey. He runs the household; we just pay the mortgage. (pic left)
I'm happy to make the following announcements!
Now offering Virtual Life Coaching sessions
Sometimes a person needs extra support going through Life's transitions and curveballs. Please reach out, particularly if you are an author/artist, counselor, or educator. I understand the "rhythms" and demands placed on each of these professions and can use my experience to provide support and guidance. (Please see Life Coaching/Counseling link above for more details.)
Available for Pet Loss counseling
Our furry friends are important family members and it can be heart-breaking when we lose them. Please reach out if you need extra support. (See Pet Loss link above for more info)
Available on Betterhelp.com for other counseling

Our beloved Rutherford B. Barrett, aka Bubby Bear has earned his angel wings. His sweet, quiet, and gentle nature will always be felt, particularly in specific areas of the house. His fight with Megacolon, and then another sudden & big medical issue came too much to bear. We wanted to relieve his suffering, even though it meant more suffering for us. Bubby, we hope you get many head and bellies scratches in Heaven; we know you loved nothing more. Rest gently, our sweet Bubby Bear. (3/20/09-5/2/21)
