In my first academic Public Speaking class, one of the assignments was to read a nonfiction book and, then, in twenty minutes, summarize the book to my classmates. The book I chose was the first I had read of its kind. Although its title is a distant memory, I recall that it was about Personal Development.

Reading that book was a defining moment for me and from that point on I was hooked. At an age when I was no longer a girl and not quite a woman, this book gave my life meaning and validated much of what I was feeling and experiencing. Since then, I have read many Personal Development books, listened to tapes, attended seminars and applied much of what I have learned to my life. I have challenged my limitations, reached many goals and, as a result, lead a fulfilling personal and professional life.

I had a deep desire to share what I know about being happy, successful and fulfilled. So I started the Meditations for Women Web site (www.MeditationsForWomen.com). Since its inception in 2002, my work has been featured on the Hallmark Channel, radio shows, and in countless magazines.
