My Life
Nothing in life is perfect - and that includes me! Life generally doesn’t turn out as we plan, and that’s OK. I once heard it said, “If you want to hear the Lord laugh, tell Him what YOUR plans are.” I’ve come to learn that His plans are always much better than anything I’ve come up with on my own. Life is filled with trials, struggles and hardship, but through these, we can experience many blessings in return if we just turn the light on to look for them. I am addicted to LIGHT, and the color Green is an obsession!!! I’m pretty much nocturnal, and accomplish my best work in the middle of the night because my brain doesn’t have an off switch. Life is a journey, and I’m excited to share it with you!

My Efforts
My belief in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are the center focus of my life. I’m not here to tell you what religion you should be, whatever you are, be a good one! My family is what keeps me going every day, as well as serving others. From the time I was a little girl, I’ve had a drive and passion to live life and accomplish the things I set my mind and heart to do. I believe we all came to this earth with specific talents and abilities. It is up to each of us to discover, and develop the God given talents we have each been blessed with. And then use them to make this world a better more beautiful place filled with Light! His Light!!!
Religion
“I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The gospel of Jesus Christ is what I try to pattern my life after each day. He spent His life serving others, and service is a big part of my life - it fills my bucket! Just because we might belong to different religions, doesn’t mean we don’t all pray to the same God. The important thing is that we are all striving to live our lives to keep our families safe and strong as we serve others in need.”

SymbolArts Inc.
“Life is full of stepping stones, and working with SymbolArts was one of these stones. I learned a lot, designing and creating licensed products for Utah’s 1996 Centennial Celebration, the Sesquicentennial Celebration of the arrival of the Utah Pioneers in 1997 - traveling with the Mormon Trail Wagon Train as a licensed vendor, as well as consulting on products preparatory to the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games, and many other statehood celebrations across the United States.”
1996 - 2010
Salt Lake 2002 Olympics
“The opportunity to serve as the Wardrobe Volunteer Coordinator for Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Salt Lake 2002 - XIX Olympic Winter Games was a highlight in my life. The 300 volunteers who were placed in my care pulled off an Emmy Award winning miracle, as we welcomed the world to this great state of Utah! The main focus of Opening Ceremonies was LIGHT!!! I still get goosebumps thinking about the magic that I felt in the stadium that night! ”
2001 - 2002
My Heart
This is my family, we are not perfect, we have our trials and struggles. We don’t always see eye to eye, and that’s ok. The important thing is to love one another, respect our differences and perceptions, and move forward in life in a positive, healthy way. We come to this earth to discover our talents and abilities so that we may use them to serve others, and Be The Light! “When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God”. As we serve others, we serve Him! Each is beautiful and different in their own way.
