Marketing leader, author, children's book. Metro State adjunct professor

Explore all the different layers of who we are. Follow joy, what feels good not knowing where it will take you. Saying your truth out loud. Positively change your life at anytime
 
Author lessons. Go back to what we love. Started drawing pictures of birds, naming them, learning more about birds. The writing process: writing illustrations, proof reading, design final file, upload proofs, printing options (print on demand, printing companies). Ways to sell book: Online, Amazon, Retail, Events.

Lessons learned: Life plan, Never too late or too old. Take time to play. Listen to your heart. Throw out things that are not right. Can't do life wrong.
