An Artist's Life:
I’m a huge proponent of leaving all my gifts on the field, and I do my best to live that kind of creative life. As an author, writer, musician and fine artist, I try to engage in all of the things I have to share—to not choose between them, but to get my hands and heart into all of them. I’ve learned that this kind of Artist’s life brings—for me—full engagement, happiness and an at-ease-in-my-soul kind of life.
Feel free to search my books for heart-warming and sensual fiction; inspirational writings on artistry, motivation, stress-free money choices, marriage and relationship tips for a creative life; and tons of happy-life, artistic living skills. Lots of quick inspiration on my blog pages, too. Or, reach out to me to share your own creative path.
