Writing my #memoir SHAPING DESTINY was a cathartic experience for me. During countless #revisions, I reexamined my life in detail. What I learned was that my life is my greatest work of #art and that the creative process is about understanding who I am.

It's the journey, not the destination. Make mistakes. Share your passion. This, I know is true.

My award-winning memoir, THE ROMANCE DIET, doesn't offer recipes, exercise tips, or advice. Instead, it shows us how to stand up, express what we want, and develop empathy for ourselves and the people we love.

"Stories are compasses and architecture, we navigate by them, we build our sanctuaries and our prisons out of them, and to be without a story is to be lost in the vastness of a world that spreads in all directions like arctic tundra or sea ice."
