Creative Projects & Other Activities
I love to learn new skills and to stay creative. I have a wide range of interests that have led me to a number of hobbies-turned-project over the years. They have had various life-spans (from a short-lived hobby making all-natural soap, incense and herbal dream pillows, to an Etsy shop that I maintained for almost a decade) but have all provided a creative outlet and opportunities to "think outside of the box." I have found that each random hobby I pursue has taught me something that has made me sharper in other areas of life, including my career, and has given me the courage to try new things regardless of outcome. 

Photography

During 2017 I did a fair share of nature photography in the Flagstaff, Ariz. area. I moved to southern California in late 2018, and look forward to capturing the beauty of coastal terrain. These photos were taken with an iPhone 6s. 

Blogging 

Several years ago, when blogging was the "new kid on the block" of hobbies (and it seemed that everyone I knew was penning  a blog), I decided to try my hand at creating one. The blog reflected my interest in green living and sustainability. It was called "Lean, Green, Catalysts & Steam, and was short-lived, but fun!

E-Commerce
​

I closed my eight-year Etsy shop selling my handmade jewelry recently, but created a print-on-demand e-commerce shop at Zazzle.com/UnstoppableOne producing motivational gift items. The products went live in September, 2017, and new ones are in development in my spare time. I serve as designer, webmaster, social media coordinator (Instagram) and PR manager for the fledgling brand, which began as a hobby and a way to keep my skills and creativity fresh while I job hunt.
A sister-shop, BossyLi, went live in 2018.

Wellness 

In 2013 I became a doTERRA Wellness Advocate.

Coaching 

​In addition to my communications career, I have spent the past 25 years exploring holistic health/healing modalities and personal development. In June 2012, I completed on-site intensive training with Hay House Author, Teacher and Lecturer, Denise Linn, through her International Soul Coaching® Institute. In 2015 I also became a certified practitioner in the art and science of crystal healing. I am passionate about providing people with the tools they need to heal naturally, reach their goals, and express their greatest potential.
