Progress, not perfection, is what counts!

This is my new mantra.

I come from an abusive back ground. I am thrice married. I am a perfectionist who is VERY imperfect!

I have come to realize that my striving for perfection in all things has led me down a path of just the opposite. Trying to control everything has put me in control of little and has caused me to over eat for most of my life.

I am the mother of one, wife of a very loving and supportive man and in the midst of many life changes. I live in Northwest Connecticut with my son, husband, 2 dogs, cat and a fuzzy ferret.

I run a small business from home after a very small stint in the real world working at Tar-jhay. (what a farse that was!) I am an herbalist, reiki master teacher and jewelry designer who loves to garden, read, cook, craft and walk the beach.


I enjoy my volunteer work at www.HorseOfCT.org where I help to care for and rehabilitate exploited and severely abused animals. I was recently elected to the board of directors and am humbled and honored by the appointment This work is a joy for me. I truly love my time there.

I hope to keep up with this new found journey. I am worth it. I have to believe this in my heart to make sure I keep taking care of me. I am trying to make this journey about self care rather than about diet or losing weight. It is about knowing I deserve better. I deserve to be happy, healthy and the best I can be.
