In this lifetime, the most impactful and heart-opening role has been mom to two magnificent souls-- Serena & Camille. My love for them opened my heart and rewired my mind and continues to do so still today.

By vocation and professional training, I'm a promoter of human agency, wisdom, and flourishing. By divine wiring, I'm a noticer, writer, mystic, and lover of nature and beauty, so that's the flavor and lens for my work. 

My writing and publishing career officially began in 2008 with the publication of Lilly's Life-- a book co-written with my daughter Serena who also contributed her vast talents as the illustrator of Soul Friends. My work in publishing eventually led me to establish the publishing collective, Soul Publishing Group. 

Aside from my creative endeavors, I've had a conventional career-- from banking and financial services, to teaching in higher education (Kent State & Case Western Reserve universities), to corporate project management, and community health education. I hold a bachelor's (BA) in business management (marketing and communications focus), a master's degree (M.Ed.) in community health education & promotion and advanced training in energy medicine and life-- hard-knocks style!

Remember that the power is in each of us! My hope is that this site and publications extend comfort, inspiration, and courage for your sacred journey and for living a life that's worthy of your heart.
