I was born in Southern California and raised in the bright beautiful Golden State.
I relocated to the glorious and majestic state of Arizona…..where beauty, serenity, and the healing culture nurtures every soul and renews life’s spirit!
I describe myself as a lucky child of the 50’s greatly loved by my parents. It was a time of innocence, a time when life was as gentle as a warm breeze. It was a time of growing up in a graceful time.
I was raised in the San Fernando Valley, one of the original vast booming post-World War II suburbs of Los Angeles. I grew up in the shadows of tinsel-town’s glamour, its glitter and the glory days of Hollywood.
I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree from California State University, Northridge. My degree was as a practitioner of Television and Film Production. My secondary emphasis was on the written word of journalism.
I enjoyed a successful career in various areas of Media Production. My interests turned to writing – and I have been writing ever sense. I am always positive – looking for humor in everything!
I was diagnosed with three virulent cancers caused by exposure to the carcinogenic Agent Orange while traveling with the USO.
Cancer has never defined me. Thriving is what life is all about…….no matter the circumstances……move forward each and every day.
As of this date, I live daily with two rare and active cancers. They never rule the day!
I never miss a moment of this beautiful life. I am always filling my heart with remarkable memories of this wonderful journey we call life.
My book The Best Is Yet To Come is a joyous adventure – always positive, heartwarming, and will bring you inspiration along this grand journey we call LIFE!
Love to hear from you!
