In over 30 years in the motivation field, I have had 5 books published, I have spoken to 250 audiences in 11 states, I have written a nationally syndicated and award-winning column, and I am a quilt artist making quilts with words and symbols pieced into the design. In every case, as a speaker, author, columnist, and artist, I tell the stories of my life and hope others can glean life lessons from them. My 5th book, Chai on Life, was published by Bancroft Press on 9/15/25. It contains 36 slice-of-life stories with topics ranging from belly fat to Billy Joel. Each has one-line take away such as - Blessed are the flexible because they will not be bent out of shape.
