Hello, my name is Elaine, My life has directly and indirectly (formally and informally) revolved around the theme of “integrating wellness, lifelong learning, and personal development .” My professional and educational career as well as my personal life are centered on promoting this blended processes of growth and development. As a lifelong learner I continue to enhance my knowledge and skills. My hobby interests include: **working out daily **learning traditional and digital art **playing piano **reading **crossword puzzles **my cats (and of course my husband). "Saving one cat will not change the world, but for that one cat…the world will change forever." - Unknown "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." - Steve Prefontaine "Without music life would be a mistake." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche "A room without books is like a body without a soul." – Cicero "Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." – Scott Adams
