Life Story and Mission:
Long, long ago, (well, not that long ago), I was a little person frolicking about in the forest, dreaming of fairies, pixies, elves, rainbows and sparkling things of all kinds. In the spring, I would go searching for bluebells, dog-toothed violets, and mayapples, hoping to catch a glimpse of a genuine magical forest creature. At night, listening to the cricket’s chorus and watching the fireflies begin their rhythmic dancing outside my window, sleep was sometimes slow in coming. I would cross my eyes to make the patterns on the wallpaper dance and move, thinking that there must be something magical that I could use to lure sleep in, draw it closer, and hasten it’s arrival.

Well, that wistful thinking came true when I discovered guided imagery, meditation, and relaxation techniques as a “big person,” an adult. With these amazing tools, I entered the wondrous, colorful world of my imagination, a place of endless possibility, a place beyond words.

As a parent, I began to understand that the more I explored the vast terrain of my imagination, the more I could remember, speak, and understand the language of play. In the beginning, I limited my practice to sitting on a meditation cushion once a day. But, then I started to recognize opportunities for imagination and relaxation use throughout my daily activities. Within the power of my own imagination, I would add a little pixie dust to my feet in the morning, see mountains for strength when I needed a boost of support, envision jumping through clouds when my shoulders felt tense. The more I played, the more I remembered, the more I remembered, the lighter and more cheerful my parenting and life became. Suddenly the world of laundry, deadlines, and rushing about took on a new dimension and became technicolor. My imagination was now a tool in my pocket, and, good news, I did not have to think at all about where I had put it, which car it was in, what time I dropped it off, etc. . . .

Before long, I decided to put my new tools to use at work as well. As a school psychologist, I realized that using the imagination and teaching students to relax had extremely beneficial effects related to reducing anxiety, supporting positive peer interaction, enhancing concentration and establishing overall emotional wellbeing.

So, my mission has become to carry a little pixie dust, some sunbeams, and a treasure chest of relaxation jewels wherever I go, to imagine that stars flow with my movements and that glitter dusts my footprints. I am dedicated to inspiring parents, children, and educators to dip into the wellspring of their imaginations, natural pathways to achievement, peace, joy, confidence and adventure. I hope we can play along together soon!!!! A pocketful of wishes to your imagination exploration. A myriad of adventures lies within.
