It's me. Love to kayak on a warm summer day.
My first book signing. What an experience!
ON A MORE PERSONAL NOTE
I have been happily married for nineteen years to the man of my dreams. I have three grown children, two boys and a girl. My eldest son has made me a grandma to three beautiful and wonderful grandchildren (of course they are the best!)
I love to write and have been inspired by life itself. It is a passion for me, and a passion
to share the gifts that have been given to me.
My children are all awesome writers! I could scream from the rooftop how proud I am of each of them. I wasn't always the best mom (it's a tough job), but they know they were always loved and I tried!
My husband tagged me "the Human Happy Face", and he is correct. I am happy almost
all the time, and when stress hits me, YES, I use the techniques I am trying to share and
teach.
I am also known as "all speed and no control"(that probably came from my insane and positive
energy level.), and Marathon Marsha (I love to paddle).
Love Northern California and am a native of this state. I have one sister and a twin brother. I adore my family, kayaking, bike riding, hiking, photography, and collecting old books (I read them too!)
Of course I love making money when people buy my CD and book, and it's necessary:), but
I am intensely proud of these projects because I believe in them, have seen miracles happen,
and know they are helping a lot of people! What could be sweeter?
