LENORE'S
BIOGRAPHY
As a 4th generation stage actor
I was very good at playing parts and was able to embed myself
in a character to such an extent that my own identity was
secondary. Off stage, I was more an extension of my parents,
school and society and didn't really have a solid awareness
of myself as an individual.
To stand naked, to express without role-playing, means revealing
the self, feeling comfortable in self-identity, and feeling
confident enough in that self to follow through with it and
accept responsibility for it. This has taken me decades.
Several career turns helped me discover parts of who I was
and was not.
My first major role as an adult was as a wife and work partner.
My husband and I ran a residential development and construction
company. He was the visionary, I the "little ant"
that got the problems solved. I worked with city and building
approvals and even dug a long 4'deep trench with the help
of only one woman in order to meet a utilities deadline. Yes,
I was tough and proud of my take-charge abilities.
Operating under pressure with tight deadlines was offset by
major consumption. The two of us owned three new cars at all
times, even a Ferrari for show. We lived in an "upscale"
neighborhood and dined every night at the finest restaurants.
We rarely vacationed -- no time for that -- and lived for
externals. Then, one life-changing summer, we went up flames.
I sure had a lot to learn.
Since childhood, I'd been writing poetry, journaling, praying
and meditating. But where was my foundation? Soil tests are
common in construction to insure the foundation's security,
but my internal ground felt infirm and no amount of food,
toys or accomplishments could stabilize me. My prayers were
heavily laced with inner fear.
In my teens I had prayed: "God, if there is a God, hear
me if you can, help me if you are able to and care to."
Even in my forties I felt little self-trust or self-love and
was still following some one else's direction -- unable to
FIND my own.
With all my experience as an owner and seller of real estate,
I next turned to real estate sales during a good market. This
gave me the time and independence to begin my journey back
into myself. Prayer had kept me alive and there were things
I wanted to change, but I had to start at the beginning. In
order to change myself I needed to learn more about who I
was. It was through psychotherapy that I discovered my ego
and since then I have been a student of change.
I learned that the solid ground does exist. And once I knew
I really existed as an individual, I found ways to reach that
ground and anchor myself in It. And so my new life began to
emerge. Practices such as Clinical Hypnosis, T.M., Reiki,
Healing Touch, Basic Counseling all led to the establishment
of Quantum Livingsm, a company I founded in the
early '90's.
I call myself a "change strategist." While the emphasis
may vary, my approach is two-fold:
1) Invite conscious connection to Soul;
2) Create Organic Change.
Organic Change comes from entertaining a mind-set that invites
lasting change that will endure and evolve with the individual.
Organic Change is permanent. It endures because it is congruent.
It isn't a "quick fix," rather it works at a more
subtle level and is deeper in scope. Why? Because it operates
by connecting with the Quantum Mindsm within each
of us. When I refer to change, I mean only this kind.
I am still expressing a personality, but this time my own.
Subtle changes have caused great shifts in my perspective
so that I now live in a reality quite different from that
of the past. And I continue to change realities as I evolve.
