The Wise Woman’s Almanac became a reality in 2007, when the first edition was published. At that season of my life, my career as a Massage Therapist was in full bloom and I took every opportunity to share nutritional wellness with my clients. I frequently heard, “You should write a book and publish all the health information you share with us.”  Taking those promptings to heart, I began the journey of collecting data and gathering my wellness notes and scribblings. My inner perfectionist demanded that I “do this right,” so I hired a writing coach, editor and publishing company. I had no idea how much I did not know then about the world of an author! Alas, The Wise Woman’s Almanac: A Seasonal Guide to Your Physical-Emotional-Spiritual Health was born.

Book sales were ok, reviews were positive and encouraging and I was content, vowing to never write another book! Once the first edition books were nearly sold out, my inner perfectionist (somewhat less perfect by now) began rumbling, “You need to revise your book.” The second voice came from an accomplished author, editor, publisher and friend, Judith Briles, “You need to revise your book!”  That began the second journey down the writer’s lane to complete the second––and much improved––edition, The Wise Woman’s Almanac: A Seasonal Guide with Recipes for New Beginnings that Never Go Out of Season. Book two was in my reader’s hands in 2016.

Book sales have been exceptional, reviews are still positive and encouraging and I am content, possibly with other books to come! This Almanac shares the wellness wisdom of nature and her seasonal foods and their effect on our health. Throughout the pages of these books, I strive to "educate to empower” so readers may choose simple wellness practices and habits to improve their health-style and age-with-vitality.
