Therapists become therapists because they needed therapy. I created "Believe" because I need to believe.  Ever since I can remember, I have been a positive person.  As a child, my siblings made fun of me and often mimicked me saying things like, "Oh, it's super-fabulous or riprorious."  Why was I always so positive?

I had a grandmother who taught me that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. Throughout life and its challenges, I found that "believing" for the better made a difference. As I continued to smile, even in the face of adversity, things always improved. I never had many friends growing up. I didn't fit in, but I wanted to. I, like many others, because of "not" fitting in, did not feel "good enough". 

And today, at 60, I know that I AM good enough. I can succeed in spite of appearances and that when life gives you lemon, you can make lemonade. I want everyone to know that they are special; that they can do anything they want, if they believe in themselves. What others say does not matter - but what you say to yourself does. 

I focus on health, mental and physical, on the spiritual and on success. The best way to show others these principles is to bring on people who espouse these principles in their lives.

Once a month, I go "on the road" with the show to help empower people in areas they may not understand. One of those shows was on buying, financing and servicing an automobile - it could be anything that I think will help people feel competent.

The whole emphasis of this show is to empower others to believe.  The future of "Believe" will include helping make people's dreams come true... and I am working on that... but you have to BELIEVE!

BE YOURSELF

Be yourself
But be your Best Self
Dare to be different
And follow your own Star.
And don't be afraid to be happy.
Enjoy with All your heart and soul.
Believe that those you love, love you.
And, when you are faced with a decision,
Make that decision as wisely as possible;
Then forget it;
The moment of absolute certainty never arrives.
Act as if everything depends upon you,
And pray as if everything depends upon God.
