An Author Who Wears Many Hats

I have always been a writer. I have loved writing since I was able to first hold a pencil. When I was little, my father use to tell me to go outside, play, and enjoy the sunshine. He advised me to save writing my stories and poems for rainy days. I just wanted to write all the time.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in Journalism with the intent to become a novelist when I graduated. That was seriously my plan from the moment I started college. A career counselor, who never read my work, crushed my spirit, and told me that was a pipe dream. An opportunity arose within days after that meeting to pursue my master’s degree in Exercise Physiology, fully paid, so I took a little detour while trying to figure out what I was going to do when I grew up. It was then that I started writing for health and fitness magazines and research articles. I did our department’s newsletters. I snuck writing in wherever I could. I was probably the only student in the Exercise Physiology who loved writing my thesis.

When I graduated, I became a full-time personal trainer at a large fitness club downtown Chicago. Because I had my master’s degree, and am an exercise physiologist, I had every special case client. I was working very long hours. I loved training people, but I had very little time for much of anything for myself. I barely wrote. After nine months, I left to manage corporate fitness centers for a large healthcare organization. After four years there, I started my own wellness company, which I have now owned for 16 years – going on 17 (are you singing the Sound of Music song too?)

I have been married to my husband Stephen for 12 years. We got married on January 1, 2011, at 1:00pm (because he was/is the one). We have three little girls – ages nine, seven, and five. It wasn’t until the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 where I was forced into having time for myself that I began writing for pleasure.

My company went virtual. I was desperate to keep my sweet little girls in a magical bubble. They were so blessed to have each other – built-in playmates. It was just another afternoon. I went into my office and wrote The Case of the Giggles in an hour. I felt alive again. I started researching how to make my dream happen, and I never looked back. Trust me, I have my moments where I feel discouraged, like everyone. It’s then when I get some sign, reminding me, this is what I was born to do.
