Who the heck is this gal, and, is that really her name?
The short answer is, we're still discovering that, and yes!
You want more? Oh, I see... there's a lot of space here. Okay, let's start over. We get to do that, you know. Start over. And that, my friends, is the story of my life. Meet the writer, editor, and leading lady in this adventure. I am going to share what inspires me. You see, if you get that, you'll get me. Here goes...
MY INSPIRATION:
What inspires me? Nature and my romance with her. All things Mama Gaia...the ethereal, the unmanifest: seeds, seedlings, tiny eggs in nests, growing things, green shoots emerging from branches, freshly turned soil. Potential. Always potential.
Tapestries, Gregorian chants, ashrams, monasteries and sanctuaries. The Moola Mantra, Mooji, minimalism and spaciousness; room to breathe, to dance, to create. Open air, sunshine on my face, breeze on my skin, sand on my feet, and water. Always water.
​
Travel, cultures, stories, the texture of life and living. Tastes, experiences, adventure, spontaneity, saying "yes" to Life. Flow. Trust. Leaning in.
Crystals, women sitting in Circle, Grandmother Moon and the night sky, cycles, spirals, braiding hair, little girls in tutus and rain boots. Birth. Birthing children, birthing love, birthing ideas, birthing story, birthing courage and strength, sovereignty, conviction and vulnerability.
Love. The real stuff. Friends, late night calls and the cabs to be there, love notes left on kitchen counters and tucked into luggage and lunch bags. Vintage love songs. Cradling infants, holding, deep listening and making love.
Story time, fresh sheets, wildflowers, hikes, bicycling in autumn, swirling leaves, campfire smoke, rivers, the music of crickets, frogs and owls; snowflakes, children's laughter, birdsongs, wind chimes, freshly mowed grass, airport hugs, belly laughs, girlfriends, being behind a camera lens. Excellent espresso.
Having life cave in and rebuild itself. Saying goodbye. Saying hello. Breathing. Stillness. Life. Always, Life.

The life we see for ourselves is never a straight line. Mine certainly wasn't. I'm certain that many of my decisions were made because I felt stuck, and the discomfort of remaining where I was outweighed the big, scary unknown. We have to imagine. We have to pull the trigger, buckle up, and take the (oftentimes) harrowing ride, but I believe the risk is worth it.
Ultimately, anything that assists us in discovering more about ourselves, about life, and this world we live in, is worth the cost. Stretching, growing, learning, and expanding are why we're here, after all. My advice: surround yourself with supportive people and jump into your life. The truth is, we have no idea what is possible for our lives if we never try. Whatever feels too big, scares you, excites you, terrifies you, makes you come alive... Go for it! That's my big wisdom, Dear One.

What Readers Are Saying
Honestly, I cry when I read how my stories touched people's lives. Those who know me know that I connect with my spiritual guides when I write. I receive tremendous help from the other side of the veil. My soul feels and writes the story, and that's why I believe readers have the experiences they do. It's soul touching soul.

From the moment I began Anasazi Vision, I was completely absorbed.
Kathleen B.
I finished Anasazi Vision two days ago and already miss being inside the story.
Doris M.
What makes the book unforgettable is the transformation that unfolds slowly, gently. I found myself in tears without fully knowing why. It reframed my own grief, making loss feel less final and far less lonely. This book isn’t just a story; it’s a companion.
David
The Grand Gulch encounter with her husband was the moment I realized I would never forget this book.
George
Okay, I devoured this in four days, which is fast for me.
This one’s going on my “read again” shelf for sure.
Robert S.
There are books that entertain and books that teach, but this one holds you.
Donald A.
I cannot remember the last time a book moved me as profoundly as Anasazi Vision.
Lucas J.
I just finished Anasazi Vision last night and I’m still thinking about it. The desert descriptions made me want to pack a bag and head to Chaco Canyon myself.
Sarah M.
I finished this book in 3 days flat - couldn’t put it down!

True writes the kind of details that most people hide. I’ve never seen that level of emotional transparency before.
Angie H.
