Michio Kaku, Masaru Emoto, Roald Dahl, Norman Doidge, M.D., Antoine de Saint Exupery, Dawson Church, and Eugene E. Whitworth
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
The Little Prince. It inspired me to be more observant of my world, to embrace wonder, to believe in consciousness beyond the stars, and to always empower my imagination as something wonderful.
What are your five favorite books, and why?
1. The White Book by Ramtha The greatest wisdom I have been exposed to in my life. 2. Hyperspace, by Michio Kaku. I have always found the thought of a visionary enticing. This book definitely expanded the understanding I had gained previously from my scientific background. 3. The 9 faces of Christ, by Eugene Whitworth. This story of a great mind aligned with the source is inspiring in multiple pathways. 4. The Little Prince. Much later in my life I came back and truly enjoyed the depths of its message. Its wisdom is immortalized in its simplicity. 5. The Brain that Changes Itself, by Norman Doidge. I have great passion for understanding, and science in its ideal is all about understanding. I like the idea that our attitude determines the state of health of our body.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
The richness and diversity of growing up in France provided a solid platform for developing my taste for creative genius. The French have a passion for the imaginary and its unlimited adventures, for individualism and for freedom. My travel experiences there inspired my imagination,and fueled a spirit of exploration, adventure and discovery. I have a passion for the unknown, and I love going deeper into all understanding, to know more.

When I was a little girl, trying to sort out my emotions in chaos.
What's the story behind your latest book?
This is my story, told as simply as life can relate. It is the true story of a self-made individual and her adventures to find within herself timeless wonder, and a new freedom to unfold her brilliancy.
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
The thankfulness that I am alive, and I loving it. Wanting to have Beautiful day, and making it so.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Creating something wonderful.
What is your writing process?
I do not write if I am not inspired. but when the fire is upon me, burning brightly, I unfold thought into imagery and words. and it flows. I am always amazed at what comes forth.
Writing for me is about remembering something that came from a deeper sphere of feeling within me, and allowing it to make itself known.
