Life is funny…took a break from creative writing just to…

The universe really has a sense of humor. About a year ago, for many reasons, I finally admitted to myself and my readers why it was taking me so long to release another book: I had fallen out of love with creative writing and wanted to have a different career. I wanted to go back to school so that I could prepare for a new track in the health care industry. Well, I got off to a great start. I snagged a job in the industry, started taking some preliminary classes to get myself back in structu...

LGBT Children’s Books…

Just a quick update to say thank-you to all who have purchased our books of covered us in the media over the last couple of weeks. We are humbled by the support of the community and hope things continue in this manner. Striving to build a large, multi-cultural library that features LGBT families was no small undertaking but day by day, we get a bit closer to realizing that dream. Last month we released two new titles for Jewish families, Adopting AhavaandThe Wonderful Adventures of Benjamin a...

Something I never thought I’d Say: I’m moving on from creative writing

This is a blog that I’ve delayed writing for over a month. I wanted to be sure that what I’ve been fighting for a well over a year had been real. I wanted to do everything I could, push myself in every way I knew how— to make sure my feelings were rock solid and my mind was made up before I said it publicly. So, here goes…Having started this exciting journey at the age of 19, I can definitely say that this was a hard destination at which to arrive but with the exception of one more production...

ASSIGNED SEX: A DOCUMENTARY FILM

This is a quick, unplanned post. It’s not every day I see a project that makes me want to share it with ALL of my social networks, but since I heard of this one, that’s all I want to do. Covering probably one of the most misunderstood group of people in our community, Assigned Sex is a documentary film showcases five transgender individuals who “untie themselves from stereotypes that American culture has regarding gender roles.” There are only a few days left to pledge and back the project on...

Personal Power – My “30 days” with Tony Robbins

It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog entry and I can’t help but think that a review of my going through this program is one of the best ways to come back with an update. For the last month, I’ve spent about an hour a day with Tony Robbins via his 30 day audio program (the classic version, not II). Though much of the first half was familiar to me either from other programs of his or someone else’s, it was still very much worth the investment.

People often ask me how I’ve gotten so much done...
