My name is Yamaya. I am a native Floridian and aspiring cosmopolitan world traveler. I love writing, coaching and helping people become fully present and actualized. I do this through coaching, writing this blog, essays/poetry, training and as a classroom teacher. Life has been good to me. Getting into the rich, delicious, nitty-gritty of life is quite close to my heart. I have two lovely daughters, Rhiannon and Ellison. Motherhood has helped me define myself while at times allowing me to question the heck out of who I am - and who I want to be. Thank you universe for my husband and those girls. I'm thinking of having a baby boy now - we'll have to see what happens. I would love to hear your comments and feel some of your love on my blog and my website. Thanks for being here.
