I’ve been working with teens and their families for over seventeen years as a high school counselor. I have a Master’s Degree in Educational Counseling but it’s the every day experiences that have brought me to this place of wanting to share some of my thoughts, opinions, suggestions, ideas and inspirations. My hope is that something I write about creates a positive change for the reader. I hope for it to inspire others to try something different as a way to improve their own life. I believe that everyone should strive for health and happiness as a foundation in life, and if you start as a child or a teen your chances for happiness are greater. So what does it mean to be happy and healthy? Join me and read on. By the way, I am also a parent who is now on the other side of raising a teen into a happy healthy adult. And I love my job as a counselor and working with teens.
The artwork is done by Michael McRoskey. He’s a very talented teen I met this summer who has a great vision for adding art to my blogs. Each piece is custom and original. Hope you enjoy!
