: About Me

I've been interested in the written word and writing all my life. Over many years of writing, revising, editing, and learning, I have discovered that I am much more successful when working with my creativity.

In 1997, I took a writing course through "The Writer's Digest School of Writing" called, "Marketing your Non-Fiction Workbook."

In 2000 - 2003, I taught creative writing to home-school students. In 2003, I wrote a book called, "Rainbow Wishes and Colorful Dreams" which can be purchased at barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com.

In 2001, I was offered the opportunity to become a Contributing Editor for an e-zine called Suite101.com, and wrote for four columns. I received "Feature Writer of The Month" writing award for the Wellness Community Center. In addition, I wrote and designed two online workshops at Suite 101 University for "Women Abuse" and "Mothers and Daughters Celebrating Life."

Currently I am writing How-To articles for ehow.com and currently working on a second book called, "Teardrops on Roses: Violence Awareness and Survival Techniques for Young Women." I am researching for my third book.

I have written over 50 articles for Suite101.com, wrote and designed a policy manual for a "local" Humane Society, wrote and designed Bylaws for a "local" PTO at a Primary School, and wrote a menu and brochure for a "local" restaurant.

In addition, I attended four writing workshops and enrolled in Robert G. Allen's "The One-Minute Millionaire Challenge." The workshop I chose focused on book writing and how to write a million dollar book proposal.

I received a Two-Year Associates Degree (Applied Science - Studying Law) and currently working on a B.A. majoring in Psychology.

To have regrets is like saying that the path that was chosen for us is wrong. We all make mistakes, we don't always choose the right decisions in our lives, but those choices is what makes us who we are. When alcoholics become recovering alcoholics only to sponsor someone in AA, to me, is their path in life to help others. Why have regrets of our downfalls and decisions when they only make us stronger? However, one must evaluate what they are regretting. Regrets can be what we've done or what we haven't accomplished yet. If you didn't accomplish something - does that call for a regret? Or ...
