She also received an accommodation letter from Al Gore the next year for her Earth Day album, "Mother Earth Is Crying." She was an avid supporter of "no kill" animal shelters. She was one of only three high-speed hypnotists in the world at age 22. She taught hypnosis and entertained at her children's parties and the local schools through the late 1960s. She had her first poem published when she was 12 years old. She was an accomplished ballroom dancer. She was always there to help the less fortunate and gave away hundreds of holiday turkeys at their store during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
