We all want love and acceptance for who we are. That' a given.

Although it would be nice, I really don't need strangers to love me at my baseline. What I need is my family, friends - the people I'm in relationship with - to love me at my baseline.

But as we all know all too well, the message of love often gets lost in the static of the struggle for power in relationships. Misunderstanding, anger, polarization drown out and can even kill love, if we let them..

In my writing, fiction and non-fiction, I explore communication, not only as the antidote to the sick cycle of family and relationship drama, but as a powerful charm that can actually raise the dead.

If your memories of love have faded and if your dreams for love are gone, you are not unlucky and you are not unloveable. As long as there is life, there is hope.

Thank you for joining me on my writer's journey.

Exploring emerging adults: When do they understand responsibility and the access of power? Will they wisely use their power, abuse their power or give their power away? What factors influence and define personal power? Coming of age is a confusing, often cruel, even a dangerous time in a young person's life. Who is there for us to point out how truly powerfully and wonderfully made we are?
