So who am I?
I am NOT someone who has a "paper trail" of degrees and titles. I am NOT a professional counselor.
My name is Debbie Gruss. A few years ago, I started to take seriously the fact that I have an ability to make others smile and to make others feel comfortable talking to me about their lives. I have experienced this with family, friends and strangers. I have experienced unique situations where someone strolls up to me on a beach and two hours later we are still talking about their life. Why do I have these experiences? I have to believe they are signs that I am suppose to draw on my life experiences, create an intuitive event, and share common sense values with others.
What are my accomplishments? My background professionally is in corporate America now going on thirty years. My creative side is in theater as an actor/director and I have been active with this since 1983. I serve on two boards in my community and I am on the operating committee for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix where I am going on my 25th year. My greatest joy is guiding two wonderful sons into adulthood.
I have a full and happy life because I choose to bring joy and happiness into it, making time for what is most important in my world. Wealth comes from within and how you choose to spend your time matters.
Often I am asked, "How do you do so many things?" The answer is easy!
"I do the things that bring me joy, which gives me energy". Energy more than the mighty dollar is a great gauge to determine where you are in life.
How we view ourselves is very important.
How could I see my life? I could choose to dwell on a divorce, financial hardship and the loss of family I have experienced over the past few years.
Although there was a time when I needed to experience troubling emotions, in the end, it only made me stronger.
This is how I choose to see my life!
I am a parent, friend, professional, actor/director and speaker. My life is filled with anticipation, wonder and change. I love the ocean, travel, music and most importantly, helping others.
To summarize "who am I", Popeye the sailor said it best...
"I Yam What I Yam". What do I want to say about Parallelvisions?
I want to say "there is nothing new to talk about, it has all been said before". Take action with positive energy and light.
Why am I doing this? My mission statement is to
Create Positive Energy And Light One Thought, One Smile At A Time
And I mean it! Enjoy! :)
