I have germinated my wisdom by repeatedly stepping into a bookstore or library with heightened anticipation. The reverence to silence and the smell of the books, each promising an adventure that entices an eager daydreamer to open its cover. Each being a portal to many realms of possibility. My writings wish to be an addendum to all those still searching. May my experiences lead the reader out of “the box”. Helping others is the foundation of my spirituality. It has been kindled into passion through extensive travel, living outside my homeland, a multicultural family, motherhood, pet raising and building my own business. Perhaps what I share will encourage the rogue adventurer to continue their journey as well. If so, may all die hard optimists find comfort and encouragement in my efforts.
