There's not enough space or time to write my bio here; but it's all in my memoir, WILL OF MY OWN.  If it interests anyone, you are welcome to take a peek at the followig link and even order your copy.  I've been told it's a gripping read, especially for baby boomer generation like us whose parents converged from different parts of the world in North America with their own dreams as well as their own baggage; and we tried to balance assimilating into a new world with our mother land values.   http://www.dictionmatters.com

my VN interview

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

I have found my own will and spiritual independence which I lacked before. I learned that giving to others shouldn't have to mean sacrificing always from myself-  that if I give to myself what I need, I can give to others more generously.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I learned to welcome life one day at a time because it is full of so much unexpected.  In spite of this, hope's well runs eternal, so I do hope to see myself having published more books and become a known and respected author.

Sometimes it is the journey rather than the destination that we eed to heal.  Stay young and keep moving forward. Love.
