I honor my creativity in artistic expression and living.

 My first love, healing and entrepreneurial experience began with the diary my mother gifted me at 8 years old, when she observed my deep sensitivity.  She did not just give me a pretty colorful glitzy book and pen; my mother planted the seed for what remains to be my lifelong ritual of self-love, creative expression, resilience and emotional freedom. 

At the age of 9, I committed to a path of entrepreneurship.  I made an unspoken promise to myself, embedded in courage and excitement, that would plant the seed for my childhood and adulthood entrepreneurial work. In the 1980s, I was printing and selling short stories in Brooklyn, at my mother’s job with her support and permission! I remember trying to give my mother some of the money I earned from my short stories and she would never take the money.  In my mind, she deserved half if not most of the money I made, because my writing dream took flight with her encouragement, the computers and printers at her job and of course her co-workers.  Even as a child I understood the importance of doing business with integrity :). 

As I matured and became more self-aware, writing became more and more sacred to me.  My pen, many papers and books written on or in, became my sanctuary; a place where I could visualize my dreams, what I wanted the world to be like, what I wanted from life and relationships. Through my writing I found a healthy way to process and release my emotions, trauma and experiences. Long before I discovered yoga as a physical practice as a student and teacher, my mother had already introduced me to its essence through written expression.

Today, I honor God, myself, my mother, my grandmother and great grandmother by sharing the lifesaving practice that writing is. 

I am forever grateful to my mommy for planting the seed that opened me to exploring one of my most cherished creative gifts, writing. Her love for writing became my inheritance, and her journey inspires the knowledge I seek and transmute to wisdom on my journey.

As a mother, I encourage my children to express themselves creatively through their writing and creative gifts. Through writing, teaching and creating spaces for people to reconnect with themselves, my mission is to inspire and plant seeds that encourage people to lovingly embrace themselves, write more, trust their inner wisdom, and recognize that healing often begins with the courage to feel, dissect and express what lives within from this life and or the ones before in ways that nourish our hearts.  No one enters this world free of soul work.  If we are here, we have work to do inside and around us.  Next chapter...
