Penning realities: That's what I do. Of all the good floating around out there, I capture some of it on paper, make it concrete, so there's no denying it. Most often, I give written voice to women's issues, including relationships, self esteem, body image, health, mothering and a whole host of others.
I am inextricably connected to the feminine experience and feel obligated to focus energy there. Too often, women and girls don't receive the care and credit we deserve. We get judged, belittled, underestimated and neglected by a society that doesn't always see our value. In the end, a lot of us get lost, separated from our beauty, our inner light. Hopefully, these words can be a tether, guiding them back to balance.
Aside from writing, I do therapy with families and couples. I have a Master’s degree from Drexel in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT). I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients on issues ranging from depression, drug abuse, sexual abuse, marital discord, family reunification and more. I believe the importance of intact families is greatly downplayed in today’s society. In some communities, particularly African American ones, the absence of one parent is becoming the norm. It seems everyone knows how to make babies, but few know how to secure a loving relationship beforehand. As more and more families dissolve, so do communities, so do relationships, so do the traditions of cherishing marriage. It’s an ugly truth, one I work to change every day.

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by the site so far. I like reading the guestbook comments. I'm currently looking into advertising and review sources. Most definitely let me know if you have any leads there. Some people have suggested I do a book signing. I'm thinking about it. Gotta find the right location and do more advertising first so people will actually show up. Got any thoughts on this? Hit me on the guestbook.

Finally, the site is here! Took me long enough. It would have been so much easier to get it designed for me, but I took the DIY route to save money. As time goes, I'm sure the site will grow and evolve, but I think this is pretty good for a first-timer. What do you think? Let me know on the guestbook... And of course, get the book!
