What makes you come alive?
​
Being fully in my body. I love to try new sports and challenge my body to go beyond what my mind thinks possible. I learn so much about myself from every new sport or hobby I tackle.
​
Being with my people. Having lively and heartfelt conversations, playing board games, taking a yoga class together, settling down with a nice beverage or hiking up a mountain… it’s all good when the company is great!
​
Being outdoors. I love spending time outside, whether it’s in my yard or on the top of a mountain. Fresh air and sunshine give me joy!

What makes you come alive?
​
Travel ~ I feel most alive when I travel. New environments, new experiences, new culture and new people excite me. I love to explore the world around me.
Laughter ~ Nothing brings aliveness to my life like good ole belly laughs. Most often that’s with my girls. But also with my husband and friends, or watching a good comedy show. I LOVE TO LAUGH!
Nature ~ Being in, and connected to, nature brings a different kind of aliveness for me. Rather than exhilarating (like travel) or exuberant (like laughter), it’s a soul-soothing, mind-altering, body-relaxing aliveness, that brings the whole of me alive in the most peaceful way.
Service ~ Being in service of others, in a multitude of ways, brings me an aliveness like no other. If I can incorporate the first three into this last, nothing could be better. :)

Laughter, Connection, and Creativity. Life can feel heavy at times and the antidote for me is laughter, connection and creativity served with a large dose of gratitude.
These days I'm resonating with Hunter S. Thompson's words that “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

What makes you come alive?
​
Connection. Learning. Tuning-in.
Coming alive for me is a practice. Intentionally cultivating a deep connection with myself, my loved ones, and my community brings me fulfillment. I believe living this BIG life is a team sport and it starts with me getting clear on what contribution I can bring to the team.
As a life long learner, I thrive when I stay curious. I love growing, trying, and practicing new skills.
For me, it’s all about balance. Tuning-in to my inner voice and my inner knowing cultivates a sense of wisdom, truth and peace. Some of my favorite ways to tune-in are through nature, meditation and music.
