I grew up in the small towns and rural landscapes of Iowa, loving animals, growing things, playing in timbers and creeks, sewing, singing, playing music, dancing and laughing.  I learned to revere silence and nature.

 

My working life has been varied and diverse: farm worker, short order cook, escrow secretary, Sign Language interpreter, and Registered Nurse. 

 

It’s said that every past experience builds on the next and leads a person to their rightful place in the present. 

 

The natural world I loved as a child and adolescent is still with me, but my perspective has changed as I’ve matured. I see that it should not be taken for granted. It should be nurtured and cherished and preserved.

 

My current role, purpose and passion is to write about health: how air, water and soil quality affect food quality, how the food we eat and every other lifestyle choice we make as humans affects our health and the existence of every other living thing.

 

I look forward to writing content that will promote and expand the knowledge of well-being, and to encourage every person to tap into their innate ability to heal.
