I have been a ghostwriter since 2000, writing primarily autobiographies for public figures, local celebrities, and ordinary people with extraordinary stories of victory over life’s setbacks. I’ve also blogged for a billion-dollar online retail company and managed proposals written to secure multi-million-dollar government contracts.
What led me to an entrepreneurial writing career was a heart attack in November 1999, at the young age of 40, bringing my 19-year Corporate America stint to a screeching halt. Shortly thereafter, came a diagnosis of a chronic auto-immune disease called sarcoidosis.
In 2012, after years of searching for relief from sarcoidosis, I was introduced to a raw food lifestyle. Eating 100% plant-based, uncooked and unprocessed foods allowed me to kick that disease to the curb in just 7 days! I’ve been enjoying a 90% raw-vegan regimen and disease-free lifestyle ever since.
January 2020, marked another milestone, career-wise. With my mustard-seed faith, my MBA and law school acumen, my love for research, and my passion for seeing people live disease-free, I switched gears from ghostwriting to book- writing coach so I could spend more time advocating for others regarding bioethics issues, patient advocacy, elder-care and caregivers’ rights.
It has remained a long-term goal of mine to educate the world—particularly baby boomers—about mastering their healthiest self. Inch by inch, this is being done through food-prep demonstrations, video instruction, and resources via The Law of Raw Institute for Balanced Healthy Living.
Also, to fulfill my passion for journaling, I host journaling retreats in the U.S. and abroad. Check out where we’re heading on our next soul-searching venture of Writing Out The Storm.
Finally, since writing will never really leave my blood, I’m hosting Master Your Masterpiece, an 8-week book-writing program, and online writing courses to guide individuals in writing their own stories.
My guilty pleasures? Hanging out with my two adult children who live at opposite ends of the state of California and going to tasty vegan restaurants with friends. Also, spending an entire day in solitude organizing photo albums or decluttering storage spaces in the home seems to be a weird form of meditation for me.
