Women's Survival Show

Wellness, community giving, and relaxation techniques were the theme for the Women's Survival Show on Friday, October 21st.  The event was not only fun but very informational.  I was blessed to participate and explain the impact of the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery to those in attendance.  We were able to enlist nursery volunteers for the increasing need as well as communicate how important it is to give back to the community.  Thank you Anna and Teresa for making the evening so much fun.

Inland Northwest Baby 2nd Annual Tea

I had the privilege of speaking at the 2nd annual Inland Northwest Baby Tea party on Saturday.  The passion and drive of the founder Jesse Sheldon continues to amaze me.  This is a young man who at 13 decided to make a difference which continues to gain momentum throughout the community.  Please take a moment to visit their website and learn more about this organization.

About Me

My photo
Spokane, Washington, United States
Growing up in a small rural community in Eastern Washington allowed me to discover and grow into the woman you see now. I was born on March 4, 1965 in the Othello hospital and 18 years later graduated from Othello High School ~ go Huskies! I am now a wife, mother, and grandmother. I am deeply committed to emotional and physical health and work diligently to strengthen both my mind and body through exercise. I am a graduate of Whitworth University ~ go Pirates, and Gonzaga University ~ go Zags! My passion is focused on mentoring the youth in our communities by showing them the power of critical thinking and authentic leadership. By applying the principles of emotional intelligence we can successfully arm our youth with the tools to move our global community to the next level. I am currently involved with Big Brothers & Big Sisters as well as HOBY. Both of these organizations share my passion for youth leadership in the community. In addition to youth leadership I am involved with Vanessa Behan's Crisis Nursery. I urge you to view the links I have provided so that you may learn more about these special organizations.
