Career Focus: Webmaster, graphic designer, researcher, writer
I am a graphic designer and webmaster by trade. I was introduced to meditation almost twenty years ago, and have practiced many different forms of meditation over the years. Also a fine artist since high school, I've honed my portraiture skills and maintain my own art gallery portfolio web site. Ever the student, I have researched scientific findings on nutrition, wellness, and the effects of strong chemicals in health and beauty products during the past five years. Examples of articles written are included below. I've anonymously written two chapters in the bestselling book sold at the publisher where I work: a chapter on natural ingredients for cardiovascular health, and a chapter on maintaining a healthy urinary tract with cranberry. I developed a secondary index for the same book, and in the process of doing this tedious task of counting and marking the different uses of supplements I realized how much of our health and wellness is dependant on the foods we eat or don't eat. I saw how a single supplement that is high in antioxidants can help alleviate over 40 health conditions. What a clear indication that after discounting genetics, we all have an excellent chance of guiding ourselves into great health as we grow old by including the right foods in our diets! (There is more to it than just diet, though! Pay attention to breath, attitude, exercise, and heavy metal or pesticide exposure, as well.)
I run a web site called Live on Purpose.info, and in the blog I talk about some of the things that I've learned related to physical and mental health. Once a month I issue a newsletter where I release a new computer desktop wallpaper with an inspirational theme, meant to help you stay on track with your self-development. I take personal responsibility very seriously, but I still have a sense of humor about life.
As of March 2009, I have released a 59 page ebook about the mood-food connection as it relates to depression. Titled, "Sad For No Reason: How to use the Mood-Food Connection to Banish Depression Naturally," it is available on the home page of LiveOnPurpose.info. Come join me at liveonpurpose.info, use the table of contents to view all the articles, and leave comments on the blog post that moves you.

"As the physically weak man can make himself strong by careful and patient training, so the man of weak thoughts can make them strong by exercising himself in right thinking." James Lane Allen
