I’ve been on a spiritual journey since my earliest recollection and I have spent many hours in my own personal development and understanding.

Ana's role in life seems to be to fill in the position that no one else is doing. She loves to learn and as such she's worn many hats, but her favourite ones are interviewer and sculptor. Ana started out on Shift Happens helping to produce the show but she was always telling Jeff what to [...]
