After decades of various therapy and research, she found that neurolinguistic programming was the key to personal discovery and change, and became a Neurolinguistic Practitioner (#NLP) herself, now specializing in #cPTSD and Relational Sexuality.

💿💿💿I’m, presently, recording three full length CD’s of my original music simultaneously with various artists I’ve worked with and/or adored along the way! I appear to be on some desperately-crazed existential writing binge - 12-plus hours a day, until my husband pulls me away to play, lol!😘But I’m an Aspie on a mission! I have a 15 year child-raising-but-still-copiously-writing gap to close, and I’m hearing new songs every day! STOP, already, Universal Music! A girls GOT to SLEEP!🫠
🤗So, if you like “A Bed for My Boots”, I’d appreciate it if you’d share it, and be on the lookout for:
🔥“Hell Hath No Fury”,
🪕”Mizz-ur-ah Grass”, and
📦 “Out of the Box”!
