Welcome to my gallery site, Friends
I'm an award-winning author, 'What to Read' magazine columnist, jeweler, photographer, and painter. I'm also a yogi, intuitive healer, and cellist. These passions — except for jeweler, which rekindled after 25 years, and yogi, trained at 32 — were cultivated later in my life. They all blossomed when I chose to follow joy.
What if the entire journey is as simple as listening to your heart, following your joy, and with clear intentions expressing your true self?
To leave the world more beautiful, bring presence, joy, and kindness everywhere I go, and share wisdom on how to live our truest lives to the fullest.
Building on my commitment to presence and kindness, I write narrative nonfiction about how to flourish, with joy as a prominent theme. I also promote personal growth books in my 'What to Read' column and host author Q&As.
Extending my passion for intentional living, I design jewelry and mindfulness products. I am also a published photographer and painter.
