About The Author

Hello—and welcome.

I write to lift the heart and encourage the mind. I share ideas that help people thrive in every part of who they are—socially, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. Maybe something that I have written or that I am yet to write will give you, or someone you love, a boost.

I love the rhymes, rhythms, and lyrical energy that can lift the heart and make every task seem happier, lighter, more doable.

I also love to sprinkle a little creativity into my kitchen time. I admit that it’s close to impossible for me to follow a recipe—exactly. There’s always a hovering invitation, to try a little tweak. To be perfectly frank, I usually read recipes to get ideas and then take it from there. Sometimes the result is five stars—sometimes not so much, but it’s always a fun way to learn. That my husband is a guru on the World Cocoa Market, likely increases the number of times that I include cocoa powder, cocoa nibs, or chocolate chips (usually unsweetened and organic) in those recipes.

All the best today and every day…
