I have been publishing books for over 30 years, and writing is clearly my addiction of choice, followed by reading. My books focus on different developmental stages, and all required interviewing. I so enjoy the kind of learning that provides. My last book, just out, is about what healthy people should be thinking about with regard to end-of-life.
I have a husband of 45 years I adore, two lovely sons, three degrees (includ. a Ph.D. in public policy), four careers (including teaching leadership and executive coaching), five grandchildren, experience living in seven cities, eight non-fiction books and, dozens of pounds gained, lost, gained over several decades.
I have spoken frequently over the years and enjoy it.
I am trained as a coach and as an interfaith minister and am certified in the Myers Briggs Type Instrument, Spiral Dynamics and Spiritual Intelligence. I am an ADEC recognized thantologist (which I joke means you get a skull and crossbones tattooed on your left thigh.)
I divide my time between Houston, TX and San Diego, CA.
