Do you find it easy to slip into discontentment? To feel ill at ease with the world and be thrown off track? To see everything that’s wrong within your house, room, or life and feel overwhelmed?

I’ve strayed off the path to myself. I’ve been an impostor for a long time. Maybe it began when I was a kid and I was told to be quieter and not draw attention to myself. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to writing what I feel so honestly; so that I may rediscover my truer…

My passion on the subject of creativity comes from my experience of uncovering my authentic self by respecting my inner creative needs. This was a very rewarding and enlightening experience for me and my attendees. And this year, on November 10, I’m conducting the…
