I am passionate about learning – about myself, my community, my world – honestly anything.  I am practicing sober living – and have been actively pursuing that for just about 2 years.  Therapy, meditation and honest reflection have made turning 40. . . an accomplishment.  I’d like to think I’m on my way to becoming wise.  My words for this year are “impact, cultivate, mentoring and gratitude.”  They have really guided my thoughts and manifestation.  I work in after school childcare and have worked in some sort of supplemental educational setting for the last 20 years (except for 5 years as a coffee shop store manager – which I love training so I count it as education).  I am recently married to a wonderful spouse – we have 2 houseplants and 5 baby succulents.  I love doing self-care, and having systems but struggle to stay accountable to it – especially when my spouse is not about it lol. I love SCS because I can have an hour a week or so to be with growth centered people who thrive on building self – love.  It sparks my joy and exuberance, spurs my commitment and I am so grateful for it.
