  • Color and Art Empower Your Wellness
    Jun 18 2025

    Lisa is a dedicated creative professional committed to helping individuals uncover their soul purpose through therapeutic art practices. With a keen interest in the transformative power of color, she utilizes creative wellness to guide clients on their unique life paths. As an accomplished artist, Lisa passionately engages with her community, fostering connections that inspire creativity and personal growth. She studied wellness counseling at Cornell University in 2021. In the fall of 2024, she presented her Color Affirmation Method to educators in Minnesota at their fall conference, MNSAA (Minnesota Nonpublic School Accreditation Association) speaking on the impact of SEL through creativity. Her recent book, the Color Affirmation Workbook and Journal is the perfect partner to her Color Affirmation Deck, which reflects her expertise and enthusiasm in this field. Kindle has been asked to teach two classes at the Sea Cliff Arts Council in June of 2025 in Long Island, NY. She will also be co-hosting a women’s retreat where she will be teaching her method and leading a guided labyrinth event also in Long Island.

    I wrote the book, the Color Affirmation Workbook (2024) and Journal and have published an inspirational product, the Color Affirmation Deck that combines color and affirmations to promote well-being and spark creativity.

  • Effects of the Truth Behind the Secrets
    Jun 4 2025

    Sandra Schnakenburg is a dual American/Australian citizen. Sandy earned a BS in

    finance and international business at Arizona State University and an MBA specializing in

    finance and accounting at the University of Southern California. She left a career in

    corporate finance in 2010 to study creative nonfiction. She has completed writing

    courses at Rice University, Writespace, and The Writers University in Houston. When not

    writing, you will find Sandra enjoying her family, nature, hiking, skiing, biking, cooking,

    yoga and walking her dogs. She and her husband, Karl, currently split their time

    between Houston, Texas and Park City, Utah.

    About The Housekeeper’s Secret

    Secrets. We all have them. We all love to discover them. We all turn the pages until that secret is revealed. For Sandra Schnakenburg, the secrets she found out about her beloved housekeeper, Lee, were overwhelming. Driven by Lee’s dying wish, Sandy’s simple investigative journey intensifies when she serendipitously discovers Lee’s past and true identity, a gut-wrenching truth hidden for three decades from her family.

    On her deathbed, Lee asks Sandy to write her story— a story Lee would often bellow over the years “no one would ever believe!” No word from the story was spoken, even after decades of pestering Lee to the point of anger for details about her past. Years later, Lee’s request sends the author on a deeply emotional journey to find the truth, unearthing shocking secrets about her cherished housekeeper’s past and revelations about her own childhood.Ultimately, The Housekeeper's Secret is a poignant testament to love and survival, revealing the resilience of the human spirit.
