Choices from the Heart: A Journal for Bringing Joy Into Your Life!

I am passionate about helping people discover their unique purpose and share it with the world. So many men and women are searching for a more meaningful life, and it's not easy in our fast-paced culture to slow down and reflect on what makes us happy. When I was young, I embraced the teachings of Thoreau, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Joan Baez, and Gloria Steinem, and I have continued on this joyous path ever since. I have a master's degree in education/sociology from the University of Washington and ten years' teaching experience where my focus was on reading, creativity, and instilling feelings of self-worth in my students. I also spent 25 years in the hospitality industry, taking care of guests and hearing their stories. I have been A Course in Miracles student for many years and am also a cancer-survivor. While going through radiation treatment, I increased my meditation time and read over 200 books on healing. I started applying all that I had learned about the power of our thoughts and beliefs to overcome fear, and this led me to incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into my daily practice. Choices from the Heart, A Journal for Bringing Joy into Your Life is the culmination of these experiences, and I am very excited to share it with others so we can make this world a better place.
