Who Am I
Welcome;
With an extensive background in the beauty industry and having published three books, I believe the most important things in life pertain to connection, trust, community, and involvement. I am convinced that even in a world of great stress and division, each of us can choose a path that will lead to a simplistic, easily attainable, and authentic life. I hope you enjoy my weekly posts here as well as on
Sparkamericausa.com, and I also encourage you to send your inspiring submissions about “people, places, and things,” that are of interest to you and perhaps to others like yourself.
Blessings,
