I love to read my mom used to tease me that I would read the back of the cereal box that’s how much I love to read. I am a magazine lover. I enjoy seeing new magazines on the shelf. Even though I’m a digital magazine publisher, I still love the feel of a magazine. I guess that’s why I still get a tingle when I hold SORMAG Digital. It feels real to me. I’m
This is my last day as a 48 year old. It has been an interesting year. I’ve done some amazing things. I’ve had some fun days, some valley days, and some trials, but I’m glad that I get to see a new year. I’m happy I get to continue on this journey of publication. I’m excited I’m able to share this journey with you and encourage you to start your own journey because life is
I’m gonna use to be my favorite word. I’m gonna write a book. I’m gonna go to Paris. I’m gonna see the world. I’m gonna do videos.  Over the years I realized I was saying I’m gonna and not doing a dog on thing but talk. I’m gonna was a part of my fear mentality.

When I decided I wanted to be a writer I had a lot of hope.  Hope that one day someone would like my story enough to want to publish it.  Hope that my book would be read by someone who enjoyed it.  Hope that I would continue to write more books that sold and were read. If you are a writer you know sometimes hope is all you have when your publication journey takes years
I can honestly say that I never thought I would be anyone’s coach.  I will admit, that I love every moment of it. I think I like the term mentor more.  I think coach, intimidates people, they think something is wrong with them when they need a coach.  So not true, a coach is there to help you become better in whatever is challenging you.  There’s nothing wrong with getting help with challenges.  That’s how you

I bought my
