Margaret Ann Unplugged

I am a nature loving, dog walking, Smoky Mountain hiking (as often as possible), always up for a fun time, traveling, dancing 64 year old.

In my inner circle, we call ourselves the Sexy, Smarty, Bad Asses.  Because, well why not. It makes me laugh.  

Having a good time with family or friends is what brings me joy. I have learned to be grateful for the little things like great conversations over coffee, the moon rising on the horizon, beautiful sunsets, watching the birds, waking up feeling peaceful, and laughter, because they really are the big things.  

Experiencing anxiety in the past, I know how painful it is to constantly worry and be controlled by fear. So, I walk my talk to live a healthy full life without anxiety.  I know how hard it can be especially in the beginning to make time for a healthy diet, exercise or even to take the time for therapy sessions. 

I promise you, the tools you will be learning will make everything so much easier.  It doesn’t have to be an uphill battle.
