My speeches are punctuated with stories of my years spent as a missionary to the Tarahumara Indians of northern Mexico. My slogan is "Laughter does good like medicine should." Medical studies have proven that laughter literally does increase oxygen throughout the body and sends endorphins to the brain. I speak about learning to accept change; about seeing humor in every event; about integrative medicine. Laughter is stress relieving, so business people who are over stressed can benefit from hearing me speak. My books are: To Climb a Mountain (both audio & print); The Journey to and from the Mountain; Marriage for the Long Haul (I've been married 51 years to the same man!); When Your Mama Calls You Mama (Mama had dementia); and My First Cookbook (for beginning housekeepers)
