About The Author: Bio
As a child, I possessed an inquisitive mind, seeking answers to all the mysteries to be discovered, through a long journey of coasting through changing tides, passing moons, and rising sunsets. I, as an explorer, strived to reach that peak of the mountain in discovering love, knowledge, peace, and truth, along the trail, before my feet. I was an outsider, looking in, studying through observation, the open doorways that guided the lamp, upon my feet, along new pathways. Rather than be a follower, I strived to be a leader. I learned that the only way to acquire knowledge, seek hidden truth and grow in spirit, I must take the necessary steps toward my God given vision of helping others achieve their dreams for success, attain healing, and reach their goals toward emotional, physical and financial stabilty, hand in hand with perpetual growth.
I worked toward applying my knowledge, experience and world travel, as effective goal strategies in reaching my destination. I treasure and thank my Heavenly Father, for all my blessings, and learning experiences, over time: from being purified in the Dead Sea in Israel, worshipping Yaweh on Mount
Sinai in Egypt, and visiting Blessed Virgin Mary's house in Turkey, to bathing my feet in the healing pool of Siloam, in Israel. Upon this journey, along a road of discovery, I was lead into the oceans of the deep seas; within these seas, I found the treasures of my heart, leading me into applying my academic knowledge,
world travels and Humantarian work, worldwide, creating a ripple effect of postivity and change.
Shortly after receiving a B.A. degree in Psychology/Sociology from the University of California at Davis, followed by continued education and training, I experienced a deep calling on my life, to utilize the gifts of writing, along with continued education. I learned that a collorabaton of all my experiences served as an effective and essental tool for teaching children and adults the wisdom, righteousness, justice, and power of God , life skills , career development and steps toward acheiving visions for sucess. I truly believe that any one can acheive success and reach their full potential and dreams, if they believe it is possible.
The five books that I and the (Holy Spirit) have published, cover a broad range, originating from inspirational reading material, educatonal material, a life testimony , a collections of poetry and prayers , followed by a collection of bible stories for children.
My main objective is to help others in the process of learning, growth, invention, innovaton, and rehabilitation/healing, in dealing with everyday, life scenarios and challenges. Writing is a powerful instrument and tool in teaching children and adults, the history, politics, life lessons, and aspects of attaining enrichment, purpose, wisdom and prosperity.
