I believe it’s important to have a purpose. To be good at something. To use that “something” to help others.
I believe we can write into being the world we want to live in.
I believe in striving to live a balanced life. In living simply. In finding joy in the small things.
I believe in Clarity, Communication, Creativity, Compassion, and Curiosity.
I believe there is always something new to learn.
I believe in love. Love is love is love, no matter who you are.
I’m an author whose first novel is currently on submission, represented by the VK Agency.
I’m also a knitter, quilter, musician, performing artist, administrative assistant and bellydance instructor (among other things).
Did you know, there isn’t much difference in the space a dance teacher holds for her student and the space a book coach holds for her client? Both require sensitivity, kindness, trust, honesty, integrity, and a healthy sense of fun.
Whether as your book coach or editor, I’ll keep you accountable to your creative goals using a combination of tough love and laughter. And if you’re lucky, maybe a dance move or two thrown in for good measure!
More fun facts about me:
