Debbie Seagle lives in a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia near most of the things and people she loves: family, friends, kayaking, hiking, snow & water skiing, horseback riding, sunshine, dirt and mountain air.
She has directed 5 air shows and numerous international events, authored three different newspaper columns, and wined a lot. She found happiness and contentment, despite losing a son, mother, brother, and dear friends. Debbie survived a brain aneurysm, learned to fly, castrated a calf, climbed Angel’s Landing, won a state beauty pageant, and wrote Top Secret proposals for government operations.
Her childhood dream was fulfilled when Davy Jones of the Monkees sang to her at a concert (after she was taller than Davy).
You may wonder how she woke up one day, alone, in a remote cabin in the mountains with nothing to put into the dishwasher but coffee cups and wine glasses? (Divorce can do that to you.) Her book Coffee Cups & Wine Glasses explains everything.
Dabbles from Debbie:
Learning the obscure art of humility led me to pursue the hope of getting my Life Back. Well, humility AND learning to juggle (juggling is still a dream). The point is… never take most anything I say too seriously. I’m just having fun and sharing outrageous inspiration for you to do the same!
