Bringing the Inside Out
Characters have been battling it out for airtime in my brain and through my fingers. The follow-up to my novel, which is half-written, is pulling me like a buggy behind a pack of horses. From nowhere (actually from a sexy dream ;)), came a whole new set of characters, in their own story. (A mystery…
The Moment is NOW
For the past several weeks, I’ve been consumed by two major projects – my recently published novel and my upcoming course. It’s what’s on my mind, and therefore, it’s what makes it onto the page. I recently learned about my beloved Godmother’s serious health scare. It diverted my attention, and my activities, but when I returned to what…
Hey Sexy…
I made something for you. It’s an erotic novel where the spiritual and the sexy spend some time snuggling together.

Information, Inspiration and the Power of Stories
When I began my career as a holistic health counselor, over 8 years ago, it was all about answers. It was about knowing everything I possibly could about individualized nutrition, behavioral science and general wellness. The same thing applied in my world of being a yoga teacher – I became a voracious student of alignment,…
Perfect
It is my last night in Kauai, and the first one that is clear and relatively warm. I have finished my packing and decide to take a walk around the grounds of the apartment I have rented. It is spectacularly beautiful. A bright blue-black sky, spotted with so many stars. The magnificent variety of trees…
