My Hero
The nightingale, the prima donna of songbirds, demonstrates in her everyday existence a natural grace and fragility. Resonating with life’s energy, she offers up her song. The listener may be enraptured by the music she makes or rendered defenseless in the presence of such perfection. Every one of my clients is a hero in the making, just like the nightingale.
Shiri (pronounced ‘shee – ree’) is of Hebraic origin meaning ‘my song‘. I believe everyone has a song to sing, or has something in life that is their hearts delight. When they share it, create it, or engage with it they make the world a better place.
