Yes, my real name is "Ecstaci."

Yes, "like the drug", no I didn't have anything to do with naming myself, I haven't tried it, and I don't know where you can get any.😁

My mother, after losing her first child to premature birth five years before having me, and because I was also born prematurely, wasn't sure I would live. She gave me a name to describe how she felt to be given a chance to be a mother again. I love my name because of what it represents.

 Being named 'Ecstaci' forces me to seek joy and happiness in all things.

For the past ten years, I have worked in People Management and Human Resources. Before that, having obtained my Bachelor's degree in interior design, I worked on commercial, residential, and graphic design projects in several different regions of the U.S.

 I have always enjoyed meeting different people and hearing their stories. It is in our stories and perspectives we find commonality and can unify for a common purpose. This fuels my desire to use my abilities to support and validate others and their experiences. 

I live in Kansas City with my husband and three children. I love music with a good beat and well-written lyrics, movies and books with characters I think about after the story is over, drawing and appreciating all forms of art. And even though I detest all forms of exercising, I walk daily. My sole and only motivation is the hope that I'll live long enough to see my grandchildren. If I'm not on my computer, I'm probably doing some important 'mommy-ing thing'.
