One of my all time favorite quotes:

Holocaust Museum, Washington, DC :

Thou shalt not be a victim.
Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.
Above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.

  As a Grandmother:
Being with my grandchildren, any time, anywhere -- for a just few stolen moments or extended days -- makes me happy! And those wild and crazy midnite adventures, ah... they are the best of all!

  As a Writer:
Always with an underlying desire to empower self and others...
I have written a weekly column since 1986, several non-fiction books, one novel with another presently in the works, plus nearly 500 poems. This amazing computer age makes many writing projects SO much easier, yet the poems still require pen and paper - I like that!

  As a Speaker:
I frequently respond to whatever topics are asked of me, but I most enjoy talking about choices and attitude, being a survivor and defying labels and I truly love doing this in a Retreat Setting!

As a Workshop Author / Facilitator,
I presently offer Two Workshops:

WORKSHOP I
Are you about to take on a new identity as a result of graduation, marriage, divorce, a death of someone close to you, a personal diagnosis of chronic or terminal illness, an empty nest, down-sizing that is forcing you to reevaluate your entire future, or maybe you have just chosen to make a major career change? If you cannot presently relate to one of these life events that has forced you to assume yet another new indentity, the day will soon come when you will!
Then: Click on WORKSHOP at the top of this page and learn how to become more prepared to cope now or when that day comes.

WORKSHOP II
Do you want your life to matter?
Do you want to make a difference?
Do you want to be successful in all you do?
Then: Click on WORKSHOP II at the top of this page.
