I drive a stick shift ~ there’s pretty much nothing automatic about me. My home is filled with the fun and whimsical furniture that I refinished, and we eat off ceramic plates that I created. My palette is alive and vivid, joyous and fun. I paint everything that doesn’t move and some things that do.
I bookend my day with self-care: my home-brewed morning espresso (complete with whipped milk), and a great book to sink into at the end of a long day.
My cup is usually half-full (sometimes even overflowing). I like to challenge myself on a regular basis, pushing and expanding the outer edges of my comfort zone so life stays exciting and fun.
I play a mean game of Bananagrams ~ if you’ve never played, I’ll teach you how. I enjoy entertaining my wonderful friends, and bake fresh challah topped with cinnamon and sugar every Friday.
Before you peg me as a crazy busy type ‘A’ personality, you should know that I am a big believer in balance, and as much as I enjoy my busy life, I fill my down time with quiet walks and hikes in nature. I love listening to most kinds of music, and especially enjoy the indie bands that my 20 year-old musician son has exposed me to.
I make time to nurture friendships with the people I love, and although I have moved many times, I have stayed in touch with many of my friends from high school and my gap year in Israel. Thank goodness for Facebook!
You won’t hear me say ‘should’a, could’a, or would’a’. I am a can do, spirited upbeat kinda girl, so if you like to laugh but know when to be serious, appreciate being in nature and are just as comfortable at a museum, love to read and learn, we just might be right for each other. And don’t forget the Bananagrams!
Sandy’s online profile essay pretty much sums up who she is. But you’re not here to date her, so you might want to know some other things about her.
When her 23-year marriage ended, Sandy viewed divorce as an opportunity for renewal. After a quarter century (sounds like a long time!) as a freelance artist, Sandy began a new career as a life coach. As an artist, she beautified homes with her paintings, ceramics and furniture, but as a coach she felt she could make an even bigger impact on people’s lives, changing them and their relationships forever.
Sandy received her coaching certification from The Coaches Training Institute, a premiere coaches training program. She received her second certification from the International Coaches Federation, the umbrella organization for life coaches.
As Sandy began dating after divorce, she realized that her sharp intuition and deep clarity of purpose were useful tools in the dating arena. Her training as a life coach had led to a better understanding of herself, and her years of training in communication skills led to a better understanding of how to relate to men. Her ability to focus and set clear goals helped her understand what kinds of men were a right fit and which were toxic.
Sandy began helping her friends who were dating again after divorce, writing dynamic online profiles, helping with their email technique, phone etiquette, and communication skills. When her friend called her the ‘Man Whisperer’, she knew she had found her calling as a dating coach!
Last First Date was born, as Sandy began to guide clients around the world to adapt better dating practices and attract the right men into their lives. Sandy believes in the limitless possibility in each person she encounters, and is confident that with the right work, you can get from your first date to finding the soul mate of your dreams.
