On January 7th of this year, I fell over my beloved black Labrador, Shaka. I ripped some muscles and re-injured others in my lower back which has led to lots of physical therapy, massage therapy, painkillers and overall bed rest. 

     While I was in bed, in those quiet moments when it was just me, my thoughts and my belief in higher power, I decided to be creative in another way. I decided to re-do this website and share some of my thoughts with you, my audience and visitors, to hopefully help you along your own journeys of self discovery.

     I had to slow down--and the accident forced me to do that. I was burning the candle at both ends--writing a screenplay, a novel, a play, and a miniseries pretty much at the same time because I thought I needed to have a project out every year. I was drinking coffee at all hours like the caffeine junkie I am (in fact I was going downstairs to get yet another cup when I fell over Shaka.)

     It was in those moments of silence, when my body would not do what I wanted it to do at 100%, that I came to appreciate what I do have. My friends have rallied around and spent time cooking, making me laugh, and helping me organize my priorities. Thus I am writing one project at a time and leaving room for those cherished moments of silence when inspiration can emerge and flourish.
