... and That's the Way My Cookies Crumble

When Ellen stepped into the karate ring, she knew she wasn't alone. The experiences of her

childhood, her littleness, and her shy nature had been a debilitating combination, but with the support

and encouragement of countless people, she found herself experiencing the type of life she had never dreamed

possible. Her wake-up call came after she walked into the karate dojo that she had chosen to help her son build more

confidence. When she saw him thrive, Ellen felt a spark ignite within and she began to find her true self, her voice, and to explore her potential.

The unbelievable transformation that would follow brought her to the conclusion that when you put your life on hold until you get all the expected right things done, many incredible opportunities in your life can be forfeited.

Ellen believes when we recognize the open doors and walk through them with optimism, unimaginable joy can take hold and be life-changing.

Through Ellen's delightful true stories about gifting her cookies of gratitude and the powerful recipe for the making of her own life, she shares how life is not just a checklist of completed items. It is a playing field to really feel the thrill of

significant enduring experiences with family, old friends and newfound friendships.

Come along as Ellen takes you over oceans and across continents on her fulfilling journeys of global awareness and gratefulness.
