The Full Story
I've always fancied myself a writer. I started thinking about writing books and sketching out children's books decades ago. Now I have a #1 best selling self-published book, 2 children's picture book contracts, and another contract for a full-length book for parents. I am a graduate of The Children's Book Academy and a member of 12x12 and SCBWI. I LOVE the kidlit community and plan to dedicate much more time in the years ahead to honing my writing craft. I currently have an additional full-length book in the works and, although this changes regularly, 6-10 children's picture book drafts.

The 5 Pillars of Self Care
Pillar 1 — Define Self-Care
Pillar 2 — Write a Values Statement
Pillar 3 — Make a Self-Care Plan
Pillar 4 — Recognize Impairment and Focus on Prevention
Pillar 5 — Support Others in Their Self-Care Plans
Self-Care, if revolutionized, fundamentally changes our way of relating to ourselves and to one another, our health care systems, and our legislation and regulations. If we are determined and committed to being well, to loving ourselves and to supporting one another, we can change the course of action. This is a Revolution!!
