Connecting with Spirit
“When I’m not working doing I’m exploring my new hometown of Asheville, NC. I love hiking and practicing yoga, and spending time with family and friends. I spend way too much time tracking my young adult daughter in hopes of getting some of her precious time! I also spend a lot of time with Eloise, our beloved dog who loves lounging together almost as much as she loves taking really long walks in the neighborhood.” - Jody
