Long term effects resulting from the accident keep me from working a
traditional job within the educational setting, though they do not keep me
from missing the energy and excitement that stimulated me every day for
nearly twenty-five years. Now that the book is finished, I am channeling my
passions and energies into encouraging, guiding and supporting others in
their journey by being a memoir writing coach, speaking to groups about
the power of intent and the ability to grow from every lesson life places in
our path. And, as always, I continue to write my way toward clarity and
toward living life to its fullest.
And of course, I am still speaking out on behalf of the children.

Currently I live in Colorado with my four legged “children”, Teek and
Meka. They rank among my biggest fans and keep me both laughing
and on top of effective behavior management strategies! I try to make
sure they always know that I am equally their biggest fan…even when
they do things like rub up against the wall I just finished painting.

After a work-related auto accident left me with a "mild" brain injury that
pretty much turned my life inside out, I struggled in both my personal
and professional worlds. It was difficult to reconcile that as a once
successful and thriving educational psychologist, I was suddenly
someone embroiled in chaos and conflict at every turn. I did not
understand for quite some time that the majority of changes in me were
not so much cognitive as they were behavioral.
