I’m a self-published author with IngramSpark and I get to call the shots! I have no idea how to weld together steel pipes or lay bricks, but I’m learning a lot about writing and a lot about publishing having forged ahead to do it myself, and I’m super excited to…

It’s exciting to see my first book featured… —

Step One: Begin at the beginning. There’s no better place to start — To be able to find me, my creative expression, my truth, I have relied on meditation. The two are interdependent as they are dependent actions. Meditation is an activity. It is a way. It is a road long traveled, but one where you might not get from where you are…
