I have been a professional writer since 1987. I've written for newspapers, magazines, worked in the book publishing industry, and published novels and non-fiction books. In addition, I've guided numerous authors through the process of independent publishing, and offer workshops in that same vein. I'm the founder of the Parkinson's Comfort Project and over the course of six years, we gathered and gave away over 500 handmade quilts to people with Parkinson's disease.

A Sunday Moment of Zen

Leave a comment

I always loved the concept that Jon Stewart called “A Moment of Zen.” Though his choices were almost always taken from the media of the moment, the idea can be used in a number of different ways.

My husband and I have a favorite hike just up the hill from us that includes a small branch (okay, twig) of the Appalachian Trail. There’s a pond at the end that sports pink waterlilies this time of year. We were up there today. So here’s your moment of Sunday Zen.
