Writing is something I do every day. I got the writing bug when I was 12 and its simply been with me ever since then. What can I say? Old habits die hard. I'm in expert in all things female, because duh - I'm a woman, so by nature, I just know this stuff. I also have been eating wheat,dairy and sugar-free for the past 6 years. I write often on this topic. Other areas of passion & expertise include: the writing life, women making a difference, education and healthcare.

RELAX. And most of all - Follow Your Bliss. Do what you love everyday. Find a way to enjoy yourself no matter what the situation. Love who you love. No regrets.
What are you most passionate about in life?
Living fully. Following the Law of Attraction. Loving everyone that comes my way. Writing to inspire others. Helping top-notch clients achieve their business goals. Volunteering to help girls use writing to heal and raise their self-esteem.
What ticks you off?
People who don't know how to merge in traffic. Know-it-all's. Anyone who tells me "no!" Cold weather. Technology problems (damn that printer!). People who cheat. Girls who hate on other girls. Actually, people who hate on other people (that would be aimed at you, Mr. Bush).
Any thoughts or ideas on living a greener life?
Consume Less. Recycle more. Stop watching TV and you'll stop thinking you need every consumable item on the market. Enjoy what you have. Buy stuff used. Stay away from AquaNet.
What would people be surprised to know about you?
I sing in the shower. It's ridiculous, but I cannot make myself stop. Oh, also, I LOVE dark chocolate and peanut butter. I'll just dip a huge hunk of chocolate into a big fat jar of crunchy (all natural of course) PB.
Philosophy
"Follow Your Bliss." - Joseph Campbell. That is exactly how I live my life. If it isn't fun and doesn't meet my definition of "bliss", then I don't bother with it. I use Campbell's words of wisdom in every area of my life. You should try it out!
