Olivia's Story
Life
I live in Washington DC since 1968, when I came to Georgetown Univ grad school to get a Masters in French and Sociolinguistics, and almost completed my Phd D there..
Then, my thesis advisor and friend suggested that I was meant to be a therapist, and I knew he was right.. So since 1974, I've been a psychotherapist (trained unusual ways, but excellently), and since 1982, I've specialized in people's irrationalities about money.
This speciality has taken over most of my professional life. Never thought I'd write five books, speak all over the country, be on Oprah, Today Show, 20-20 etc. I've loved that.. I've had my own radio show (Money Harmony on WWDBAM in Philly area) and would enjoy being on TV (being paid to be on TV that is).
I have a beautiful fabulous son, Aniel, age 29, who was a free lance journalist in Argentina and Brazil, now using his Portuguese planning Brazil conferences at his job in NYC, who plans to get a PhD in religions eventually comparing Buddhism and Hinduism.
Michael, ...Expand for more
my 2nd husband of more than twenty-three years, has two sons, who are now my sons... one is 41 one late 30's, Bennett and Scott..Bennett lives in Vt. with Lydia in a solar house with a sound studio he built there, and has his own sound engineering business; Scott is mentoring at risk youth and is trained as a phlebotomist, and has three kids, Asia Camille, aged 6, son DJ - 3; and Eva Olivia (yes!) Aniyah, born Nov 19 2008 - they're all darling and fun to kiss and hold...
MIchael teaches at Univ of DC for the past 40 years.. (Bus Law to undergraduates). Now newly retired, so we're beginning to travel more.. Next up, Tucson, Az, where my brother Stu lives, Hawaii (to see a beloved cousin, and to Kauai, where an advisor lives who's invited us to stay for free, and Santa Fe, to see a close friend.
I do ballroom dancing, tap dancing, make jewelry and give it away, go to theater and dance, and play Scrabble online (all of these are my passions..)
and have a generally lovely life.
That's it' for now!
