In preschool, teach­ers described Nan­cy as a bril­liant child often dis­tract­ed by social­iz­ing — over­look­ing the fact that her need to con­nect with oth­ers is Nancy’s great­est gift. Often mis­tak­en for a fairy god­moth­er, Nan­cy prac­tices med­i­ta­tion, hand­stand, yoga, aro­mather­a­py, Rei­ki, spir­i­tu­al hyp­no­sis, vio­lin, mur­al paint­ing, and infus­ing every­one in her path with the joy that life’s great mys­tery holds for each and every one of us.
