About Herdyne
I believe that happiness and sadness exist in a delicate balance. The goal is to not allow our unhappiness to overtake the good times, the successes and the laughter and joys in order to maintain our emotional well-being.
Dealing with grief has piqued my interest since I was a little girl. I remember attending funerals with my father and wondering, “why do people die?” “why do people cry?” “How can we overcome death?” existential questions that my six-year-old self could not answer. As an adult, however, it dawned on me one day that there is a way to defeat death. It is by living life: fully and intentionally. It is by recognizing that every moment we have breath in our lungs is a gift from God. It is by preparing for tomorrow without fearing any curveballs that may be thrown our way.

I enjoy movies with happy endings where true love prevails. Give me Pretty Woman, Coming to America, Love & Basketball, and What’s Love Got To Do With It any day.

I enjoy game shows. My dream of being a contest on Family Feud came true.
