I’m known by friends as a bit of a hippie. Most days you can find me in flip flops and yoga pants, working from my home office in the friendliest neighborhood in Jacksonville- Historic Springfield- and playing fetch with our super smart and so, so sweet Queen Beatrix the Standard Poodle-AKA Bea. I am an Enneagram 9 (the Peacemaker) and am amazed at how much my family has grown through knowing our Enneagram numbers. I’m a mom to three amazing, brilliant adults- a son with plans to be a pilot and attending college in Tallahassee at TCC, a daughter attending UNF with plans to be a graphic designer, and a married daughter with her Masters in Social Work from FSU, living in Atlanta while her husband gets his Masters in Divinity from Emory. As empty-nesters, my husband and I are happy to binge Netflix (or Hulu or Apple or all the others we pay for) and run errands anywhere that we can bring Bea with us.

I am passionate about U2, Brene Brown and Anne Lamott, podcasts and Audible, NYC and Paris, Thai green curry with a Thai tea, fresh from the dryer clean sheets, GF black licorice, restaurants with good gluten-free food (especially pizza and dinner rolls), Netflix documentaries, Nespresso, essential oils and Epsom salt baths, and fresh-cut flowers- especially cottage roses, peonies and ranunculus, acupuncture, growing succulents and house plants, and fresh eggs from our backyard chickens.
