Ana Gonzales Lewis (right) and her daughter Joli

Children's stories often have magical folk. Sometimes they offer the heroine three wishes. I’ve often thought about how best I'd use those wishes. As a wise woman I knew that my first wish would be to ask for unlimited wishes. But what if that was not an option? They do say: You can’t fool Mother Nature.

She’s One Scrappy Lady. A True Hollywood Success Story.

I’m interested to know where a woman finds her inner strength. Some women appear shy and reserved yet they have an inner strength to handle life’s challenges. Other women appear scrappy but don’t have the strength to avoid being victimized.

Mimi Lesseos’ inner strength and the development of her physical strength can be traced to her family. Mimi is a Hollywood actress, producer, stuntwoman, and world champion martial artist. Her film… Continue

Social Media or Old-Fashioned Networking: Which is Right for Writers? Twitter Part 3

Wouldn’t you think two lengthy posts about Twitter would be more than enough to evaluate a form of communication that limits discussions to 140 characters? Well it’s not. So here’s my third installment on the subject.
