    25+ years of writing experience and have had my poetry work published in the past. My passion projects for writing include topics that include Astrology, Human Design, and Parenting. I have studied Astrology for the past 3 years and use it daily in a variety of different ways. Human Design has been in my life for the last 1.5 years an although I have barely begun to brush the surface, I am a naturally gifted person who picks up on concepts quickly. As a parent to three children, ages 7, 4, & 1, I'm constantly learning new ways to approach situations and am lucky enough to observe how their charts show up which helps me to learn those esoteric concepts on a deeper level. Every day teaches me something new and I'm excited for the opportunities to learn even more as I venture further into my writing/parenting journey.
