Hi! I’m Leslie Searcy and I live in Burbank, California with my talented and out-spoken husband of 34 years, actor Nick Searcy, our 20-year-old son Omar and our terriers, Kobe and Wally. Our grown daughter, Chloe lives close by and is a television writer.
I’ve pursued many avenues of creativity in my life, starting as an actress and dancer in New York. I transitioned into Health and Fitness after earning a Master’s Degree in Exercise Science and then spent 20 years teaching fitness and dance. I still dance regularly today, assisting legendary Los Angeles Jazz Dance teacher, Hama.
The most challenging and creative endeavor of my life, however, has been raising a family and making a home for us. Thanks to Nick, Chloe and Omar, I was inspired to seek out the tools I needed to grow emotionally, spiritually and intellectually and found incredible programs and teachers to guide me on my path. Along the way, I kept records of the funny, amazing things my kids said and the profound lessons I’ve learned from them. Putting life lessons down in writing has been my passion since I was nine years old. When Omar graduated high school, I felt like I finally had time to dive into writing and to dedicate myself to it.
The wisdom of brilliant teachers, the help of my community of hilarious friends, the undying love and support from my husband and the wonder of my kids inspire me daily. (And a nice big glass of wine never hurts!) Dive into my blog and let them inspire you as well!
