The Pursuit of Perfection: Part 3

Posted by Lori Brown on Friday, February 24, 2012,

"Life is what happens to you while you are busy making plans."
                                                John Lennon

This quote always reminds me of what we were doing prior to our oldest daughter, Alex, being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes six years ago.  It's also how many of us live our lives; oblivious to what is happening right before our eyes because we are busy pursuing the perfect path.

Posted by Lori Brown on Friday, March 25, 2011,

About Me


I live in Colorado Springs with my husband, Andy and my three daughters, Alex, Sydney and Reese. In another life I went to The Ohio State University where I studied psychology and family relations. I did research in health psychology and earned my B.A. in 1992. After moving to Colorado I worked as a mental health worker in an inpatient hospital, residential and school facility for children with behavioral issues. During that time I realized how important it was for me to raise my children in a loving, nurturing environment. For me, that meant staying at home for the past 15 years taking them to preschool, the library, play dates, the doctor, the dentist, soccer, volleyball, physical therapy, piano, gymnastics, dance, skiing and church. While I am still assuming this role, I am back in school taking master coaching classes and growing my coaching business. This blog is about my journey, your journey and my family's movement toward a happier, more fulfilled life.
