I was born a natural researcher exploring and observing everything around me. The good, the traumatic, and the breathtakingly beautiful. As a child, I started observing and studying human interactions and nature. Growing up on a multigenerational farm/ranch enabled me to observe firsthand multiple layers of life cycles and their interdependence on each other. I observed peace and contentment in people and nature. These observations started my journey at a very young age. Having no idea what my path would be, I knew my goal and looked at the world as a child and scientist. As my artistic side grew I saw the beauty in everyday interactions and the environment. Throughout my travels, I have met professionals and friends from a wide variety of backgrounds. My path has been hard and there is still more to learn. My inner peace has grown with all my experiences. I hope what I have learned from the pain and joys of life will help those who want to find more inner peace.

I continue to learn and add to my journey. I hope this journal can add to your journey of finding inner peace.
