Please tell us what inspired you to be part of this book? 

Inspired to write: It’s a curious alignment of three elements: my story in Mission Hope. The first sketchbook entries about my 7 days just before and after my birthday where Hope and faith sustained me through a big change in my life just a few years ago. Hope, something I was exploring with mind, body and spirit also visually documenting that for myself. It felt like the right time to share when Char Murphy invited writers at the end of last year. As I already had a draft of this written; so it was divine timing. Understanding that, it marks the healing and closing a certain door and to move through into a new way of doing things.

Who is your biggest influence and why?

My biggest influence is singer Kate Bush, her artistry and flow and Rumi the ancient Sufi poet. 

Tell us something we don’t know about you?

I do Qigong and meditation every day this sparks my creative art and writing. 

Since we try to share inspiration at Motivation Champs can you share your favorite inspirational quote? 

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” Rumi 

What was your favorite book as a child?

My favorite book as a child was Winnie-the-Pooh, also called Pooh Bear and Pooh, is a fictional anthropomorphic teddy bear created by English author A. A. Milne and English illustrator E. H. Shepard.

What do you hope the reader gets from this book?

I hope it gives the understanding that each soul will live through a challenge. It always takes time and awareness to get to the other side. To keep that faith and appreciation on that bridge of time between knowing and not knowing. 

Are you working on any other projects?

 I’m always working on daily art and painting but this year also two other books one which is about Drawing and Creativity. The other is a “Story Book” which will be out at the end of the year. There is an Exhibition exploring Frequencies of Light and Unity Matters which is about Humanity, Earth and Frequency. I’ve been Coaching for years but I’m integrating new healing methods into how I work with others be it 1-1 and groups of people will continue but expand that process speaking on living through values, environment, and redefining leadership at this time of change.
