As a child, I was always looking for Mr. Right, but now I know it’s Potential Mr. Right. From the day I was born, I fell in love with my doctor. I believed he would hold me, gaze at me, and praise me forever as the most beautiful girl in the world. Once I left the hospital, I never saw him again. I cried and cried and cried. But once my depression was over, on my first day of school, I met Marc. I knew he loved me. He threw his sandwich at me to get my attention. He stole my marbles because he believed what were mine were his. He picked on me religiously. I was his girl. He even nicknamed me “Vaseline”. But once I changed schools, I never saw him again. Today, I see that Marc was abusive and that I can do better. But at the time, no one could tell me differently and change how I felt in my heart. My heart had been broken, again.

But I always held on to hope. When I turned sixteen, my prayers were answered.  God sent me Larry. I realized it wasn’t God’s fault. I hadn’t been precise enough. Then he sent me Randy. I knew that couldn’t be God’s work. It had to be the devils. 

Then I decided after a few devilish encounters that is was time to analyze things. During my high school years, I decided to be a voice of courage for girls looking for love. This has lead me to winning, at the federal level, four gold public speaking awards and one silver. Then my life took a different turn that added not only education from life to my repertoire, but also education from school. From the University of Concordia, I received a BA with a major in psychology and a minor in French. Later I went elsewhere to receive a certificate for teaching English and French as second languages at the Canadian Global TESOL Training Institute. Then I returned to the University of Concordia to continue perfecting my passion for oration. For this I received a certificate in Communication. I kept going. Though I did enjoy psychology because the human mind fascinated me, it was the why, the what, the how, and the when about SOCIETY that lead to another BA in Sociology. I loved it. I am fascinating and people fascinate me.

Throughout my scholastic education, someone had to pay the bills. During that time I was a model, a hostess and a writer. All this lead to the broadening of my horizons, to feeding my fascination with man-kind and with myself, and to expanding my writing into different areas focusing mainly on RELATIONSHIPS. My book Rollercoaster consists of anecdotes, poems and advice that resulted from my education, observations and experiences. Though I am still and will always be on the journey, I know you will agree with the majority of these relationship lessons presented in Rollercoaster. Whether you repeat these lessons once or ten times, for the most part you will get the same answer.

The book Rollercoaster strongly supports my beliefs:
                        “it takes two to start a relationship
                          it takes two to nourish a relationship
                          it takes two to help the relationship evolve
                          it takes two to cause problems in a relationship
                          it takes two to have faith that the relationship will last forever”

The book Rollercoaster was written as I was leaving my adolescent years and entering adulthood. It was seen publicly years later. I have not stopped writing about RELATIONSHIPS. I am not perfect. I do not have the answers to everything. But I believe that writing can motivate, inspire, help, produce emotions that need to be revealed, or to just have a good laugh. Some of my writing can make you think that your life compared to others isn’t that bad or that you have already been there and done that. It can motivate you to be happy about your own life, or make you think that it could always be better but also that it could always be worse. Or simply my writing can help you realize that you are not alone, that there are ways to overcome your troubles and that people have survived it and had come through. Perhaps ultimately, my writing can inspire you to make changes in your life.

My writing is simply what I’ve learned, heard, observed, analyzed, felt, shared and tried to believe.
