Redesign your Life through Spirituality, and Transformational Thinking, and Writing |
|
Welcome to my website. My non-fiction books offer you choices and blueprints. Shattered dreams remain unhappy lives until, and unless, we make sense of them. We need to make better choices and learn to follow through. You can take charge of your affairs. You can create a life you love.
My awakening in my 20s was harsh and clear: No self-esteem, no money, no education, no supportive circle of friends. Amid smashed dreams and coming out of marriage to an alcoholic with a child in tow, my only assets were an old green Studebaker and my baby and me being invited home until I could get on my feet. As the hard weight of my aloneness and the full responsibility for a child impacted, I knew I'd hit some kind of bottom. Yet I felt strangely free and hopeful. My future was in my own hands. I vowed then to get out of my powerless position and to create a life I desired.
Thus began my journey to financial independence, a path transformed over time into many books and guides for myself and others—financial, health, and spiritual. And the fun and learning books of poetry, romances, and novels.
