I love writing.  Always have.  I write books to inspire others to live their own best life and I write children’s books.  Both are from the heart. Like most of you out there, I have had bumps in the road, pain, fear, depression and overwhelm.  And I worked my ass off to NOT stay stuck in those dark holes.  This is where the idea for the series From Bitchy to Bitchin came from.  I wanted to share what I had learned and inspire others...

I’m working on a new book I’m really excited about.  25 Words That Can Change Your Life is a book filled with possibilities for growth, for self-discovery and for reflection.

On both journeys we were part of a small group that had come together from all over the world to explore the mystical and spiritual elements of these special temples and tombs.  And the experiences...

I will do my best not to embarrass anyone I know although I may end up looking like an idiot myself at times. I have been the ‘comic relief’ in our group of friends to many times to count. Keep ’em laughing, I say. Don’t take yourself to seriously.
