I graduated with a degree in Business Administration. I have a strong understanding of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder AD/HD since I have been living with it since birth. I enjoy sharing that my whole entire household is “spirited” and I couldn't see living any other way than with AD/HD or with my loved ones who have AD/HD. I have coached children, adults and families with (AD/HD) for a number of years. I believe that life (throughout the lifespan) coaching is the most ideal form of coaching because I can relate so much to my clients from my personal experience, but still learn something new from them.
I am involved in a number of local,
state and national organizations involved in the pursuit of education on AD/HD
and Life Coaching. Even I must practice "self-care" daily. I have a HUGE love for reading. I should own stock in Barnes and Noble Bookstore by now. I enjoy gardening and just took up Yoga. I find I still have to practice those breathing techniques and ability to meditate, but it's a’lot of fun going through the process. What is most essential to my daily routine is to receive my phone call each morning that is programmed through my local telephone company that reminds me how great life is and how I am a value to the coaching community each day.

This is the Wheel of Life. I try to work a’little each day on my “life balance”. This wheel was shown to me when I started
exploring Life Coaching. At first, I found the wheel intimidating. Once I saw
where the gaps were it was much easier to move towards life balance.
Slow down for your Angel to catch up. I have been very connected to angels since the late 90’s. There is so much comfort when I walk into a room and there is an angel somewhere. When I’m feeling not sure of a decision, I know where I need to be and usually you will find me sitting by their portrait.
Bring on the books!
Reading is my passion and I can always find something at Barnes and Noble. My
love of reading was encouraged and modeled since childhood. My

A big fan. I see myself on her show. Oprah is indescribable and unbelievable on where she started and where she is today. For now, the empowerment of watching her work is enough to be inspired. On occasions we don’t see eye-to-eye, yet I respect her accomplishments and relish her inspiration.
This version of A Christmas Carol can never be replaced with another version. I have read them all but this is my childhood favorite. When I was growing up, there was a tradition in my home, right after Thanksgiving my father would sit down and read this story to me. Even today, when this version replays we watch it together. Each time we act like it’s the first time we’ve watched it. This is the yearly Kincaid holiday movie. My husband introduced this tradition. Each Thanksgiving, no matter where we’re at, we watch it as a family. Our favorite part is when Santa Clause yells at Ralphie that he can’t ask for a gun because “you’ll shoot your eye out kid”.
My Parents The first Life Coaches in my life. Our famous Dr. Robert H. Bender and his lovely wife, Carol Ann Bender. These were my first teachers that guided me in the direction of Life Coaching long before I had ever heard of it. This dear couple is my Mom and Dad. My parents brought me up with many of the techniques I use to this day in coaching. Many techniques were taught to me about time management and organization. My father taught me about “reminder notes”. If he wanted to remember something he put it on a piece of paper and put it on the floor by the front door. And to this day, he sets out a dish, glass and silverware for next day’s breakfast. He is teased repeatedly by my children when we visit. My Mom was the one to help me learn the technique of breaking down tasks. To this day, she still has me on the phone repeating these steps to me and I’ve been a professional life coach for nearly a decade. So, I would like to say, I did learn about Life Coaching from our Founder, Thomas Leonard, but I think he must have visited my house long before he started his Coach University and the International Coaching Federation.

Cold winter mornings, you will find me on a fluffy Starbucks chair
with a white mustache of whipped cream foam and a smile. I’m writing, my
husband reading, or we’re discussing our next family outing. Sometimes I have
to make it a short trip, or trade off with some hand-warming tea. It’s always a
great break from the hurried world outside.
kept me going. And it had to be a jumbo box. Anything smaller would
never do. If the theory is correct, “We are what we eat” then I must have
looked like one back then, “You are what you eat” was becoming me. One time,
and I’ll never forget this, I dreamt that I was a box of Junior Mints. It was a
few years after college that I finally was able to quit my addiction, the same
time I decided to have Gastric Bypass Surgery. Today, I’m proud to say I’m
happy with a small box and only on special occasions. The mirror no longer
reflects a chocolate.
How can you not love the face(s) of Robin Williams? When you’re
sitting in a group and asked who you would most like to meet before you die, it
has to be this man. He has so much imagination in that brain of his and I can’t
imagine him having a bad bone in his body. Well, less than the average person.
Robin Williams has battled and openly overcame many challenges. He has been a
wonderful representative of Mental Health awareness and never denied his own
uniqueness. 
VW’s -- everyone has a dream car, and this is mine. I still picture
the original versions, including the bus, driving down the highway. One of my
goals this year is to take one for a test drive. I hope this is a passive
phase, two adults and three kids are a tight fit.
