What is the aim or goal of your writing: The foundation for my success is knowing that my life's purpose is to share with others my experience through laughter and celebration. The first career allowed me to have a natural elevation to producing these experiences in writing and graphics. The opportunity to share with youth and the young at heart is the ultimate plateau. The measurement that I use is that which comes from a smile, the eager question anticipated from a curious mind, the laughter that is shared from all and most of all for those who share with me to reach more people and to become better in serving this life's purpose. It is only natural for the work ethic not to be a work ethic but to be a personal expectation. All that I represent is personified in all that I produce. It is not only tangible but reaches beyond as an obligation to share these life gifts and to share insight into what we all know as the human condition.
