I'm a thoughtful energetic optimistic animal lover, mom of one gorgeous & functional 20-something and devoted partner to the perfect man for me. I'm also an ACOA (Adult Child of an Alcoholic) and a beautiful optimistic work in progress. Meditation, yoga, writing and photography are my mainstays. Life truly came alive when I turned 45! In the years since I've been a devoted seeker and self-directed student of life. I've faced, and continue to work through, some major stressors: dysfunctional family dynamics/codependency, cancer, migraines, non-helpful financial habits, using food as a crutch, and healing from "the disease to please." (Hint: If it's not a YESSSS!, it's probably NO.) This is my own hero's journey and I invite you to share the ride, identify what feels true to you and leave the rest. We're all connected in this great universe of ours. (Thank you, quantum physics, one of my favorite topics!) As long as you can read these words or have them read to you, it's not too late to overcome yourself and be your own hero!!! Peace, Joy & Vigor, Elisa XO
