Meet the person outside the writer...and some wicked freebies!

What do you do in your spare time?

You would think that writing is the only thing that a writer would do in their spare time, but for me, that’s not necessarily true. Writing, while it is somewhat of a pastime, it’s also a means of decompression, destressing, exercising my creativity and having an outlet for creativity and mental energy. Being a high energy person, I do need other outlets to expend my physical energy. Exercise accomplishes this for me.

Physical exercise is something I require every day, 
Especially for a person with back problems, who can’t sit all day at a desk, whether at home or at work.

​The above is the book cover for a memoir I wrote and published in 2012, and it's an actual x-ray of my back, taken in 2007.   It's called Bilateral Scoliosis.
​
To help allay symptoms, I exercise regularly (every day) and go to physiotherapy weekly.  I enjoy strength training with weights, Pilates, Yoga, and lower body work.  Nightly walks are great for cardio, too :)

​Yoga, Pilates and strength training have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, but my latest craze is...

​For anyone who has back problems, I highly recommend the Yoga Swing or Yoga Trapeze.  Such a great stretching and strengthening tool!

Is that all she does? Exercise? God, she must be BORING!!

​Nope! I'm also a HUGE Disney Dork!

​And very loyal to our church :)

​Did I mention that I'm a Karate Mom??

Our eldest, Olivia, just received her black belt, and our youngest, Victoria, isn't far behind, having just received her brown belt.  

My kids are my biggest fans.  They love it that their mom writes.  They even write a little themselves.  When I go to their school, kids will actually come to me and ask if I'm Olivia and Victoria's mom.  

The reason behind the attention at school...

A funny little memoir I wrote and published in 2014 about my kids.  They've smuggled copies in the school countless times, and even have teachers reading it aloud to the class.

I know what you do for fun...read, right?
