Published: April 24, 2014, 5 p.m.

b'Hello amazing friend!\\n\\nIt\\u2019s so wonderful that you stopped on by to play! I would love to introduce myself so we can get to know one another. I am Darlene Navarre, born Darlene Kae Navarre and I am a Playologist (cool sounding-smart term for an infinite 5 year old). At 40 years young I\\u2019m still a hip and fun goddess of play and love. I was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah and just in case you are wondering since Utah is known for it\\u2019s Mormons, no, I am not a religious person, just spiritual.\\n\\nI was having a bit too much fun in the 80\\u2032s and became a teen-age momma at almost 17 and then had some more fun therefore going on to birth 4 more beautiful beings. I also am a grandmother or more appropriately I go by Dee-Dee because 1. It\\u2019s original, 2. It is easy for little ones to say and 3. I am way to sexy and youthful to be called a \\u201cgrandmother\\u201d no offense fellow grandmom\\u2019s.\\n\\nMy obsessions include but are never limited to: playing, traveling, video blogging, fitness, raw foods & inspiring women and men of all ages to reconnect to their bliss through play. I love all sorts of music although I don\\u2019t really have any favorites, if it sounds good I listen to it. My love language is quality time (hint, hint) however, I respond equally to love, hugs, gifts, kind words and connection with people too. I have a new found love of writing and recently complete my first book The Play Book~ Play IS The New Way!\\n\\nI have been writing online and YouTubing since 2009 and then created Playz which is designed and created to support, inspire and remind everyone to release stress, get away from doing life the hard way and just PLAY!\\xa0 Playing as a way of living, being and allows you to feel good any time. \\n\\nLet\\u2019s Play!\\n\\nhttp://www.goplazy.com'
