About the Author

Curiosity, creativity, and connection have guided my work for more than 30 years. As co-founder, editor, and publisher of Beachwood Buzz, a local magazine in Beachwood, Ohio, I have had the privilege of sharing stories about the remarkable people, businesses, and organizations that shape and strengthen our community.

My background in marketing, graphic design, and photography has allowed me to bring words and images together in meaningful ways. Writing editorials has given me a place to reflect on life, explore ideas, and consider the everyday choices that influence who we are and who we are becoming.

As an integrative nutrition health coach, I view well-being through a holistic lens. I believe our health and happiness are shaped by joy, spirituality, creativity, finances, career, education, health, physical activity, home cooking, home environment, relationships, social life, and the way we choose to show up each day. These themes naturally find their way into much of my writing.

I am most grateful for the relationships that enrich my life – my partner, Bill; my children, Brian and Julie; my son-in-law, Cole; and the family and friends who bring love, laughter, and meaning to my days.

Writing, photography, painting, nature, learning, and the beauty of everyday moments continue to inspire me – all of which have have played a role in creating Double Alphabet.

My hope is that this book offers you a welcoming place to pause, reflect, reset, and reconnect with what matters most to you. Through brief reflections and thoughtful questions, I invite you to look at your life with greater compassion, curiosity, and openness to possibility – one small thought, one meaningful question, or one intentional step at a time.
