My readers say: Kudos to a survivor ~ so personal and uplifting ~ moving, inspirational and deeply heartfelt ~ writing so convincingly is an art.

I am a writer.

My passion is ...

... to lift the soul's ambition to a higher nobler way

I know too much about ...

... nothing and a little bit about many things.

My parents always told me ...

... to stand up straight.

My childhood ambition ...

... to become the world's greatest writer!

My favorite memory ...

... the birth of a child, the warmth of a hug and a kiss from love.

Why I write ...

... I cannot sing well, I cannot speak well - when I have something to say, I write.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

... my household and me preparing for sleep.

My first job ...

... meant forfeiting childhood.

My best moment ...

... is the sacred, intimate and unifying time with my husband.

My inspiration ...

... comes from the still small voice within.
