Thanks for visiting, and welcome! Fabulous news! My reiki meditation book, Watercharms, is now available, along with my newly published anthology, Academic Apartheid. No one says that liking one precludes you from enjoying the other, and I'd love to hear from those of you who can relate to both. A strange combination for sure: an anthology full of essays that stir my anger and stoke my indignity published within months of a beautiful book of love, compassion, and ultimate healing. Sounds a lot like life... In addition to mind-body-spirit, I also author middle-grade and YA fiction, commercial nonfiction (think Chicken Soup--nice reading for those times when one is feeling low), and other topics as they spark my attention. I lovingly cultivate my holistic health business, Seven Sacred Breaths, recently shifted gears and now direct online learning for a wonderful university near Philadelphia, and run a funky little online shop called Zoliann's Garden where I sell handcrafted, Reiki-inspired jewelry--the inspired results of a still mind and calm breath. I hope you'll join me on this journey towards Truth, compassion, and wellness, even if the detours look weird and the roads seem bumpy. My worlds sometimes delicately, sometimes ferociously intertwine in the most fantastic ways, but if you jump aboard and start reading, I promsie you won't be bored. Shungo!
