Originally from the Chicago suburbs, I teach part-time (Communications/Speech, Marketing/Business, Entretpreneurship) and also own Bella Green B&B/Retreat Center/Spa (www/bella-green.com) a lovely 2 bedroom/2 bath guest house, studio/conference center and spa, just North of San Antonio in the Texas Hill County. I have found that living simply and creating a blend of  teaching part-time, and hosting others who are looking to detress and invigorate, makes for a perfect life for me.

Some of my favorite things include doing absolutely nothing (mindfully enjoy the peace and quiet of the hills, colorful sunsets, sipping tea) AND being creative. It matters not whether I am writing, drawing, dancing, cooking, massaging, playing with pastels, Pinterest or rock carving...they all feed my soul, and I am happy just being in the creative moment, making new friends at the B&B, or listening/teaching/brainstorming with my students. I also belong to the Wild Women's Litereary Society (my book club), Hill Country Women in Business, and do volunteer projects for Kendall County Women's Center.
