In Her Words
"I love that I have made a career selling laughter and family togetherness all over the world for the last twenty years!"
"I may not always be laughing as I create games that make others laugh. But I am learning and re-learning how to be grateful for the process and the journey, which is a wonderful gift, all on its own. In getting our games done, we've come up against many obstacles that seemed like the end; delays and dead ends that always turned out to be huge blessings-in-disguise. More than anything else, I have personally learned to trust that amidst the chaos, inside of every cloud, there really is a silver lining."
