I had been trying to put together a convenient and sustainable present moment awareness meditation practice but I was always so busy, so it was difficult to find the time to sit and meditate. At the same time I was also hearing a lot of people talking about road rage and their negative experiences when driving. I began to develop a meditation practice on my commute to and from work and it was working quite well for me. It was something I definitely had time for several times a day. It Worked!

I felt I needed to share this practice and hopefully help others who were in the same situation.

I hope that my readers will be able to develop their own driving meditation practice and better their connection with their higher self. If my readers can live a better life, even by a few percentage points then I have achieved my goal.

My influences come from many varied sources. The Buddha, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ghandi, Tolle, but mostly just average individuals who I hear sharing their own experiences and truth.

I first started writing at the age of 8. I was enamored with authors such as H.G. Wells and Jules Verne. I decided at a very young age that I would love to eventually become an author. it took a long time...but here I am.

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. I loved the way he painted a visual picture with words. It made me realize the magic of the printed word.

I had a burning desire to put down in words what I had experienced in the development of my own driving meditation practice so that it might help others. I knew that indie publishing was taking over the old model of Publishing House control and I wanted to get my ideas out there. Independent publishing was a perfect fit.

My process is to experience what I am writing about and take voice notes on my phone. I use these as a starting point for my writing. I also listen to what others say about their expereinces. By hearing their truth I can better understand my own.

My desk is kind of like my mind. It looks messy to the outside observer, but is compartmentalized so that I can find what I need visually. Every once in awhile I need to clean house and start with a fresh slate.

My inspiration comes from my need to create on a daily basis. Whether it is painting, writing, video, or photography, I feel an inner drive to create.

I meditate, practice yoga, weight train, raise children, swim, read, watch films, paint, create visual art, and love EDM music.

I am working on a follow up book using a different technique to achieve a more serene and connected life. I hope to have it out within a year.
