Welcome to my personal blog. I am an author, artist, and poet with a style that is whimsical, fantasy-oriented, raw, sensual, and earthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My husband has been my rock and inspiration in diving into the arts. Despite my physical disabilities, he found ways to adapt activities so I could explore my creativity. He is the heart of our family and the muse behind my children’s book series and poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I tackle a range of topics from love and death to life’s many complexities. Whether I’m writing for children or for a more mature audience, my works speak to the very essence of human experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Having grown up homeless, I spent much of my life in survival mode, often feeling like I took up too much space. It wasn’t until I met my current husband that I opened up to the world of arts and began to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I want my writings to touch people’s lives. If I can inspire or help even one person, I feel like I have succeeded. I am a staunch believer in spreading love and kindness, as echoed in my children’s book series motto: “Kindness is our Most Important Tool.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up Coming Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have a myriad of ongoing ventures including three poetry anthologies, additional Mr. Fix It books, and a reimagining of the Fix It Tales as bedtime stories narrated by Pugsley the Wonder Pug. I’m also dabbling in animations and an NFT series called “Pug Problems.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Family means the world to me. My two sons are the inspiration behind the characters of Mr. Fix It and Pugsley, while my brilliant daughter inspired the mini-story of Little Star in one of my books. We do everything together \u2014 from art to dance parties to maintaining our garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interests and Hobbies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beyond my professional life, I love birdwatching, stargazing, cooking, dancing, and photography. I also enjoy taking my dog for walks and singing\/listening to music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, my friends, enjoy the GLO!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
