Have you ever wanted to change your own reality?


As a child I spent time dressing up. I was creating a life different then my own reality. You might call it a fairytale. 

I would parade around our yard - in fur - the 90 degree July heat blazing while living out my fantasy.

My brother teased me saying, “This ain’t no fairytale!”

As I grew older I realized I could in fact change my own reality -through finance and my natural abilities as a planner.

This would manifest by creating a lifestyle rooted in financial responsibility yet often entering my own creative dreams, too.

I love beautiful things. I love warm and wonderful feelings, and I want to foster those. I don’t want you to think I have a perfect life, because I don’t!

I aspire to create spaces for women to feel special, and I use my gift of planning to create these inspirational places for us both.

My favorite person.

Russell, my best friend, my rock.  We are that weird couple that likes talking about our finances and dreaming about our future.  We're constantly pushing the limits on what we can do, from purchasing rental properties, to buying a farm in Iowa, to signing up to trade crypto currencies.  We're always working on what we're going to do next together.

My mom, Alice, fosters my creativity for gardening and landscaping. We can spend hours talking about plants, visiting botanical gardens, and working in our landscaping.  

My Mother-in-law, Pam, and I share a common love for sewing. We plan sewing retreats where we take off of work and just sew for days! She encourages and fosters my creativity.

Shared passions are precious to me. These women are KEY supporters in my life.
