I love working with smart, independent people who are ready and willing to do the work to create their own life experience!

I collect quotes, and use them often in my writing. Following are four of my favorites:

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. ~Jon Krakauer

For your born writer, nothing is so healing as the realization that she has come upon just the right word. ~Catherine Drinker Bowen

To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e. e. cummings

Someone once said that it's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not. Self-trust is what gets you to push your limits and take risks. Of the many secrets to success, self-trust and self confidence are foremost. ~Unknown Author

Don’t be afraid that something happens to you. Be afraid that nothing happens to you. Nothing noteworthy or exciting or breathtaking. I’m more afraid of a life where nothing extraordinary ever happens. I am more afraid of putting my dreams on a shelf and later realizing that I am too jaded or too tired to live them. ~We Are Sole Sisters

You are as powerful as you allow yourself to be … you can choose your own thoughts, reactions and emotions to every event in your lives.

I write to inspire readers to reach a little beyond what's comfortable to achieve goals that matter ... refuse to accept simply "getting along" in life out of fear or limiting beliefs ... cultivate the skills to become stronger and more resilient ... learn to master the self-motivation skills that will keep you energized and moving forward ... make the choices each day that will over time create the fulfilling life you really want for yourself ... and to choose happiness, each and every day.
