As the 8th of 12 children, writing became an important way to make sense of my world and enabled me to go from a life of deprivation and despair to one of rich adventure, success, and dreams come true. After putting myself through college, I became a teacher, business owner (multiple successful ventures), aviator, life coach, inspirational speaker, and shamanic practitioner. I've lived on 4 continents, and currently split my time between North America and Europe.
I write poetry to nourish my soul, fiction to amuse (Silent Sky, 2013), and spiritual wisdom to help transform lives - and the world! (Soul Primer, the Building Blocks of Happiness, 2020 and 2025, and Soul Primer for Kids, 2026).
Soul Primer II is coming soon....
Other fun facts:
-I have 3 amazing sons and 3 beautiful grandsons
-I started an all-girl ukulele band (The Fabulous G-Strings)
-I am an ordained (non-religious) minister
-I am an Instrument-rated Commercial Pilot
-I have incredible reflexes from a spider bite in Belize
-I am a meditation teacher
-I speak 4 languages, but only one of them well
I believe we get to live all the lives, love all the loves, and laugh all the laughs.
Life is meant to be big and beautiful and brilliant.
And I believe that anything is possible.
I’d love to share what I've learned with you.
