This subject has been on my mind so strongly that I thought it would make a great blog post. In 2008, I read a book that changed my life. I may have blogged about it before, but the book is called Secrets of Success by Sandra Anne Taylor. Now let me warn you, if [...]

I cooked dinner every night when I was working in Corporate America, so cooking isn’t a newfound love, but its taken on a new meaning [...]

As many of you know I was in Houston this past weekend to participate in a panel discussion. It was a fun weekend with a great discussion, but the weekend flew by! There were a lot of writers in town for a festival so I met a lot of passionate writers who were either embarking [...]

If you were on Facebook or Twitter on Saturday you probably saw my posts about my Blog Talk Radio interview with Seriously Sensual. Nicole and Gabrielle are the hosts of the show described as a place where adults can talk about anything from advice and romance to hot topics and politics. I have had quite [...]

Subscribe to The Life Of a Writer YouTube channel for regular updates! Since my son was small (he’s seventeen now), he’s always hated anything that took him off the ground.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to blog. Not only could I not find the time, but every time I sat to the computer I’ve been completely jammed up with words. I have so much I want to update you on. So I’ve decided to start off slow…to give it to you [...]

Think and Grow Rich, In The Meantime, and All The Joy You Can Stand are all books that will have a permanent space on my bookshelf. These books all delivered words of wisdom that changed my outlook on different areas of my life. However, in 2008 I read a book that impacted my life in [...]

It may just be me, but the older I get the less I like to make a fuss over my birthday. It has nothing to do with growing older, because I quite like the wisdom that I’ve gained over the years. Instead it has more to do with the “attention” factor. The older I get [...]

At the beginning of every year, I have started to document my previous year’s journey and in doing so I can account for what I’ve gotten accomplished and what I need to work on for the coming year. With that being said… 2011 is a year that I will never forget. It was a year [...]

I sincerely enjoy helping people and since I embarked on this writing journey anyone who has asked for help, I’ve assisted in whatever way I can. And I wish to do the same for the youth.
