Well, where shall I
start?
Here's
a baby pic...
Oh, I guess that's a little too far
back...
But you have to admit
that I was happy!
In fact, I was usually happy as a
kid...
I think I got that from my dad...
He
joined the Optimist International the year I was born and is a lifetime
member... In fact, he still says the
Optimist
Creed
daily!
Here
he is
receiving an award from the Optimist Club
– he
was really
optimistic!
Yes,
that's me
to his left...
Optimism was a
“way of
life” in our family!
I had a
“My
Daddy's An
Optimist” T-shirt
that I loved to
wear...
But I couldn't say
“Optimist,” so I'd go
around proudly saying
my
daddy was an “Octopus!”
(I
still call him an “Octopus!”)
The
whole family was proud of dad...
Including my cat,
Sam...
He
liked wearing the shirt too!
And do
you think I'd get rid of something like
that? No...
I've still got the shirt and
would wear it if it would fit...
And
dad still has his award!
(And
yes, I still have my dad... and mom.) (Update: Dad
passed peacefully in his sleep July, 2012.)
Here's
mom at
the local firehouse
going
for a ride in the fire engine
after she won a
Christmas dinner for her sorority group...
I
get my sense of adventure from her!
Anyway, where
was I? Oh, I was telling you about my youth...
I
grew up in a small Northern California town that
had a train going
right down Main Street...
It carried
the local
produce
[Gravenstein Apples – they're the best!] from the canneries
to the market...
Can you imagine a full-size train
going down a small town's Main Street? You didn't take a nap
when the train was coming through!
That train
supported the local apple industry, which was the heart of the
community, so it made sense the train would go right through the heart
of town!
My
family owned a business downtown
so I
watched the train come and go with loads of apples...
And
I gleaned some rather
old
fashioned work ethics and community values
from that town that have remained with me to this day...
Values
like
supporting
each
other when there was work to
be done...
Listening
to and
caring
about
people...
And
living up to your
promises!
But
not all of my youth was a bunch of
“roses” because
my
height made me an awkward
gazelle...
I was 5'9” in 6th
grade and
hovered heads and shoulders above all the boys... Ugh!
Being
the tallest gal in school (as well as a ballet dancer) however,
eventually
led
me into
modeling, which led into
acting...
Which
led into doing television commercials, print ads and film work that
have been all over the world.
My zest for acting
prompted me to open a coaching studio called Star Potential Modeling,
Acting & Confidence...
There I enjoyed
helping
people find
a
greater sense of themselves,
while they pursued
their dreams of modeling and acting.
To get a
glimpse of how
much
fun
we had there, I've put my
promotional video
here from Star Potential...
It lets you get
to know me...
That
studio is
closed now, but during my “Star Potential” years, I
learned:
- How
strongly our
minds interfere
with our
success...
- How
well clients responded to my
consulting and
custom meditations...
- And how
much I
loved coaching
people
to find their potential!
So, I became a
Clinical
Hypnotherapist!
This has given me more
tools to
help
people break through blocks to success...
So
as for
me now...
I
love
to
barefoot
hike
(yes, out in the woods)...
I
do
photography, videography, writing (as you can tell by my voluminous
pages) and
love
spending
time with my cats...
I
also like going places... 
Have traveled
extensively around the
United States and have been to Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
Thailand, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, The Caribbean, Mexico,
Peru,
and the
list continues...
I've
written a novel (mystery)...
Two
non-fiction books
(one with a DVD storyboard)...
Two comprehensive self-hypnosis programs...
And have written and
drawn
a cartoon book. 
And,
yes, I still dance
ballet! (That's why some of
my site's pages refer to
ballet
exercises!)
And now with my
personal
development
coaching services, I help people
using hypnotherapy,
subliminal hypnosis, personal image enhancement and communication
skills (public speaking, sales and, yes, acting!)
I'll
keep updating this page as I have new things to share!
