Bio

In my previous
life before I became a poet, I lived in a technical
world and thought of myself as a scientist. I carved
a robust career for myself as a software and systems
engineer for the U. S. Department of the Navy. My writing
career began when poetry began coming to me in an automatic
fashion during my meditations.
Initially, a poem would
germinate from an emotion that arrived in the present,
stimulated by memories of the past. Then suddenly the
emotion would be expressed, cloaked in metaphor. As
my poems became brighter, my days and nights were illuminated
with the brilliance of the moon and the stars and the
warmth of the sun. At last, my dream to live in California
came true.
After I moved, my poems
continued to grace me with their presence, arriving
during walks along the beaches, mountains and the desert.
One morning, I awoke from a dream with the understanding
that I was to publish my poems. This was a rather unpopular
choice to the part of me who cherishes her privacy.
However, the side of me who was eternally grateful for
the healing and growth achieved, coached the fearful
one. Upon mutual agreement with my selves, I affirmed
my intent to offer to the universe this gift in the
form of a book. Once that decision was made, I was contacted
by a publisher and shortly thereafter, Recovering
Stolen Dreams was born.
I have recently published
my second epic entitled For The Love Of My Dreams
which is about a love of a higher order that all of
humanity is about to embrace. I have since begun to
use my poetry as a catalyst to stimulate the creativity
of others for the purpose of introducing them to their
own voice of inner wisdom.
I teach workshops on self-empowerment
through creative expression, because I am convinced
that a world of peace consists of inhabitants who are
at peace within. No one is at peace until they have
found their own voice of truth and self-empowerment.
I have spoken at St. John
the Divine Cathedral in NYC as well as other churches,
seminaries, libraries, theaters, universities and health
spas throughout the northeast. |
