Who Am I?

Hey! Who am I? Good question. I am lots of things… My name is Kerilyn Fox, well,Kerilyn Russo now as on September 26th, 2009 after marrying the man I was always meant to marry!!!  I’m a 36 year old New Year’s Eve baby. A tall drink of water (I’m 6′-1″). I grew up in NYC and NJ, with my younger sister, Kristine. After high school, I went to West Virginia University for 3.5 years - I transferred from Psychology to Interior Design and then subsequently transferred and graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 1999. (LOVE Savannah!!) I am a Herman Miller Systems Furniture Interior Designer by day and an ever-searching soul for that which moves us, inspires us, and touches our insides. Well, that’s a 24/7 gig.

I am an Entrepreneur. After many years of not trusting my gut, I’m returning to my 6yr old little girl dream and becoming a Certified Life Coach (July 2011) and about to embark on a MILLION DOLLAR IDEA to help support Significant Others in the Restaurant Industry. Check us out! Married to a Chef! Full Site Launch (with the help of my blessed girlfriend and web designer extraordinaire Kyra) in February 2011!

I am also a fledgling Greeting Card Designer whose intention is to help touch other people with my words and sentiment, hopeful to propel my cards into the stratosphere of possibility and wonderfulness!!! I am a novice photographer (specializing in self-portraits) and a searcher for fun things to do and to learn! I am a volunteer, and have been a part of the National Building Museum since 2004 (I work in the awesome Gift Shop) and LOVE being a part of something so great!

I live in Springfield, Virginia (about 15 minutes from DC – in good traffic! Ha! ) with my Kindred Spirit/Chef/Love/Husband, Peter Russo and my wonderful kitty girl, Pez, who is my heart. I have a GREAT circle of friends who have helped make me who I am today… my cup runneth over.

My faith is VERY important to who I am. I believe in God, Energy and Reincarnation, Meditation and Spirit, The Law of Attraction,RADICAL Forgiveness and Karma. I believe that EVERYTHING, even the things that are hard, that we might not understand, are all happening for a reason… and NEVER give up!

There are many things that I am. They seem to change from day to day, month to month, and year to year. I have many aspirations in my life and am trying to work on bringing them to life; one at a time.

Ancora Imparo means “I am still learning“. That is what it’s all about. Learning. We never stop learning… through our greatest triumphs, and our greatest challenges. That is the reason why we are all here.
