Who am I? Isn't that a powerful question? My answer: I am Liz Livingston, beloved daughter of Heavenly Parents; loving wife; nurturing mother; grateful daughter, sister, and aunt; happy teacher; and smiling friend. AND I'm riding the roller coaster of mid-life emotions, am typically overscheduled, and have to laugh over my crazy quirks! I have been so blessed to be nurtured by many amazing people during my lifetime. Click on my photo to meet me and learn more about some of the wonderful people who have nurtured me. I love sharing what I'm learning about nurturing our family of 9, BOTH the ups and the downs.
