Laura Breksa
Personal Pursuits CouncilMom

Laura had the privilege of growing up on California's Central Coast, in a beautiful valley that ended at the ocean and flower fields on one side, and spilled out onto green rolling hills on the other. She was surrounded by beauty and good people. Laura has continued to seek beauty and good people. She's held on to a really good guy since 1991. She was privileged to be a full-time mom to four beautiful children from 1994-2022.

Hi, I'm Danielle! I am an optimist, who enjoys a 1/2 full glass of fresh squeezed lemonade, under a silver lined sky. I believe we can find good in all things if we just take the time to look. I am blessed to share my life with my husband, and our 8 children. For me, the perfect day includes a sunny beach, a good book, and an ice cream sundae, shared with friends and family. ​
