I'm over the moon for the second time this week!
I'm tickled pink to announce my interview by David Tan of Canvas Rebel Magazine. It was and continues to be a pure delight to connect with David in such an intimate interview, as I don't typically like to share too much about myself. I'm much better at getting to know others rather the other way around.
Special thanks goes to my metaphysical mentor, Melissa Paone Somma of the LightClub Curiosity Shoppe (Sugar Loaf and Warwick, NY) for introduction.
Full interview at Canvas Rebel.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did and continue to do so. A true pleasure and honor.

I'm pleased to re-introduce the story behind the book... Dee and Deb Off They Go Kindergarten First Day Jitters and their delightful video as to where they have been.
The inspiration is a tribute to my endearing bond with my fraternal twin sister, Deb. The story is a true account as to how we were separated for the first time in kindergarten. For back then, pre-school was not a class type that was available. I cannot imagine navigating these past 55 plus years without Deb and our bond continues whether the adventures are together or apartment. Love you immensely, Deb!
