As a teacher for over 30 years, my goal now is to reach beyond the classroom and take my knowledge and expertise to a new level. Over the years, I have researched and developed presentations focused on finding one’s purpose and mission in life. Through all my trials and tribulations, difficulties, and challenges the best advice I have to offer is this…

When in doubt, let go and just follow the path that God puts in front of you.

I use the labyrinth as a meditation tool and guide to navigate through life’s unexpected twists and turns. I use the Native American Medicine Wheel to provide structure and balance during times of uncertainty and doubt. The Medicine Wheel brings calmness and direction to one’s life. The labyrinth and the Medicine Wheel are both ancient teachings, yet relevant to today’s challenges. My book, Lessons for the Labyrinth, contains a number of lesson plans that incorporate the labyrinth into middle school and high school curricula. My book, The Seven Directions of the Medicine Wheel, contains both practical and spiritual teachings based on Native American teachings. My memoir, Teacher in the Yellow House, about my time living and teaching on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Montana, provides encouragement and inspiration for any teacher going through a difficult time. My presentations and workshops, customized for each audience, incorporate humor, spirituality, and practical insights based on a variety of methodologies. My teachings are practical, spiritual, and also physical. As a Certified Fitness Instructor for the Arthritis Foundation, I find joy in teaching weekly exercise classes for senior citizens. My intention for my all my students, no matter what age, is that they will better understand themselves and bring a sense of order and purpose to those around them.
