I can wiggle my ears! My family is part of my core values. I love a good laugh. Coffee is my favorite. I love all things sports and I love to watch people grow, believe in themselves, and I enjoy being part of their growth and belief system.
I love my drives. I love music, breathing, spending time with my kids with intentional time and play. I love a good book and a cup of hot tea.
Do I dare say “chick flicks that you never know how they are going to end?” I also enjoy action and suspense!
Believe it or not! The Lotus Flower!
Aside from my family…taking a risk, making the jump, relying on faith and support of my friends and family, and for living out a dream…Lotus Behavioral Health.

I love a good rom-com movie or book; I also enjoy thriller books.
I have a black thumb, so if it can keep itself alive, I like it. I enjoy looking at bright colored flowers.

My son, my daughter and my education
Spending time with friends and family, watching sports, concerts, and shopping
I moved away for college when I was 17 and lived in Lincoln for 10 years. My Grandma is my person. I love summertime, sports, food, coffee, holiday’s, travel, good laughs, and Reece’s peanut butter cups.
I try to put the day aside and just be in the moment with my family. A good meal, comfy clothes, and some sports or binge watching are also my go to things. Cleaning too. I enjoy working out when I can as well as reading.
Big movie fan over here. Some of the best include: The Sandlot, Mrs Doubtfire, Goodfellas, Shawshank Redemption, Harry Potter, etc. I could go on with Disney & Christmas movies but I’ll stop here. I enjoy reading romance and thriller books!
Peony’s in bloom and there’s just something special about a Christmas cactus. And if tree’s count, the changing colors during fall take my breath away.
I’m proud of those who are brave enough to ask for help. I respect the vulnerability in admitting that. It takes strength and courage to say something and doing something about it! It’s okay to not be okay and you are not alone.
Kansas City Royals baseball games are highlights of mine every summer. I also love to travel and just get away when I can. Music and concerts make me happy. Spending time with my friends doesn’t happen often enough but it’s something I also love to do. This year, I want to learn how to cross-stitch!
I LOVE coaching softball.
After a long day I love unplugging from my phone and work to play Barbie’s or cars or whatever my kids want to do.
I like watching and reading anything that’s about crime or murder mystery!
My favorite plant is a fake plant.
I’m proud of my family and values.
My hobbies include drinking caffeine and working out.
I spent 13 years working in food service.
Watching sports (love them all!) or binge watching a comedy or action series on netflix or prime.
I am not much of a reader but enjoy all kinds of movies. I love science fiction and fantasy movies and my favorite movies are weird ones like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko, and Being John Malkovich.
Anything colorful that I don’t have to take care of!
Returning to school in my early 30’s to complete my undergraduate degree before moving on to my Masters.
I love games and competition so I enjoy video games, darts, beanbags, boardgames, and pickleball.
I danced for 16 years and loved to do tap and hip hop the most.
I like to unwind by doing a jigsaw puzzle, reading a book, or binging Friends for the thousandth time.
It’s a Wonderful Life, Twister, Titanic, and Steel Magnolias (I am an old soul!)
I like lilacs, hydrangeas, marigolds, and tall, old trees.
I am proud of my beautiful, incredible children and my wonderful, loving husband.
I like baking, crafting, scrapbooking, anything creative! I also love spending time outdoors.
I became a therapist by reading people’s tarot cards and getting paid for it.
reading, going on a YouTube bender, yoga (love it), and journaling.
I like scary movies (ghosts and werewolves, not a serial killer person), animation, and fantasy.
I don’t have a favorite flower. I love them all—but I have planted roses, lavender, lilac, Narcissus, hyacinth, daisies, and tulips, so those are my favorites!
I’m proud I have two Masters degrees and an English paper about a book quoted on the book’s Wikipedia page, and I’m proud I wrote some stories and poems and choreographed a dance.
I like to sew. I also like to bake and cook, and garden. I go to the gym a lot.

My ability to live in the present

I grew up near Okoboji Iowa and have adapted the “relaxation vacation” vibes to my entire lifestyle. I am a self care “guru” and celebrate anyone who takes time for themselves. I’m a Type B personality with an Enneagram of 2 wing 1, so I care a whole lot
Recently, I’ve picked up biking on a stationary bike to help decompress but mainly I enjoy arts and crafts, listening to true crime podcasts and vegging on the couch watching a variety of shows. Also, I spend about 9-12 hours a week raiding with my World
My favorite movie changes depending on my mood, but a few of my mainstay favorites would be The Pianist and Life is Beautiful.
My favorite plant would probably have to be the grapevine I have growing along my backyard fence. It seems to have good intentions and I have yet to be offended by it’s existence.
I’m proud of my wife. She’s one of the fiercest advocates I’ve ever met and cares so much for our fellow humans. She causes everyone around her want to be the best versions of themselves, and often helps them get there!
I like to paint, do puzzles and play board games.
I know how to clog
Cuddle with my dogs and cook a good meal
Murder mystery books and true crime/documentaries

Listening to music, Netflix, and/or reading.
I love reading and movies, there’s no way I can pick a favorite.
I cannot keep a plant alive and my cats will eat any plant I would think about getting, but if I had to choose, trees, I guess.
Growing into the person I’ve always wanted to be by trying to always show up as my authentic self.
