She is happy to share this practice with everyone desiring to master stress and operate with mental clarity.

Favorite quote – “Open your eyes look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?” ~ Bob Marley
Keep people in your life who truly love you, motivate you, encourage you, enhance you, and make you happy. If you know people who do none of these things, let them go.
