"Oh my gosh!..... I am so thrilled and can hardly believe that I won!!! Wow!

I am redirecting and regrouping my life right now in so many ways, so perhaps this is a wonderful way of receiving that "little bit of extra Love and validation" which I can use right now!!!

My background in teaching, childbirth education, and as an R.N. led me, 20 years ago, to take a "leap" into Massage and Healing Touch. I soon was introduced to NSP and began learning so much about more gentle and natural means to embrace and bring about "healthfulness" through herbs, healthful nutrition, and aromatherapy. The learning process never ends!

Many quotes I love ......a couple of simple ones that are easy to remember:

Mother Teresa: "We can do no great things, only small things with great Love."

Richard Bach: "Listen to what you know, not what you fear."

and Unknown: "Always seek {inner} Peace for therein Freedom lies."

Thank you so very much for what you do to promote and educate and share great things! I am grateful for this "gift" and the opportunity it brings me! "
