For decades, my journey took place in studios and on stages as an award-winning singer, writer and producer. I embraced the life of an actor, singer, voice-over artist, stunt person, circus artist, professional water skier, and dancer.
I became a published poet at 14 and continued to write for television, the stage, as a songwriter, in books, print and online magazines, articles, and much more.
But parallel to my life in the arts was a life in the clinic. As a veterinary technician, I spent time in the hands-on reality of animal medicine—stitching wounds, lab work, administering anesthesia, to name a few duties. I applied my knowledge with both domesticated and wild animals.
This story did not start with my vet tech experience. It all started decades earlier as a animal loving child, someone who loved to climb trees, investigate insects, spent hours at the ocean looking for shells and sharks teeth, spotting dolphins, snorkeling with fish and sea turtles.
I don’t just observe nature from a distance; I have lived and existed with it.
To manage my entertainment life I learned meditation. I loved it so much I certified 10 times and spent 25 years teaching meditation and Qigong. I mastered techniques of calm and stillness only to realize that my greatest teacher was waiting just outside the door… and now it is calling me HOME.
Sitting with wildlife and in nature is the highest form of meditation—a realization built on years of seeing animals as living, breathing, sentient beings I’ve fought to heal and protect.
Today I rededicate myself to working with, observing and writing about domesticated, wild and exotic animals, tree, plants and insects.
The Story Comes Full Circle.
