My Story

My journey as a writer has been a diverse tapestry woven with experiences from various roles.

It all began in 1977 during an adventurous 4000-mile hitchhiking trip from California to Alaska, and back again. Captivated by the unfolding journey, I felt compelled to document as much of it as I could, thus marking the inception of my writing career.

Over the span of four decades, writing became a daily therapeutic practice. As I got older and experienced more of life—commitment, marriage, family, career— daily writing became my oxygen.  

In 2015 I transitioned into writing for online publications, where my writing found a broader canvas. I took a pivotal step in my writing career by enrolling in AWAI’s flagship copywriting program, followed by mentorship under Nick Usborne through his Web Copywriting 2.0 program. Alongside, I delved into the realms of affiliate marketing, SEO, and online marketing, learning from industry luminaries.

Today, as a content writer, I specialize in the “warm sell” — fostering genuine connections, building trust, and providing valuable insights to solve problems. Through my writing, I aim to establish credibility, positioning businesses as reliable resources within their industries.

To my readers, I offer perspective. Whether it’s lessons learned, practical tips for inner growth, book reviews, or wisdom gleaned from ages past, my aim is to awaken and inspire.

The resonance I find with my readers fuels my writing spirit, reminding me of my original purpose — delving into the inner lives of women, sparking conversations that illuminate life’s purpose, and sharing stories that resonate with what is true, fulfilling, and purposeful. 

I understand that my writing doesn’t  resonate with everyone. As the proprietor of Enlighten Up Cafe, I cater to a niche audience — those aged 50 and above, who have weathered the storms of life, embracing the cycles of becoming, and emerging stronger with each challenge.

From the age of 19, I’ve been nudged by unseen forces that focused my attention on the inner life. I found a home in Spiritual Science, particularly Anthroposophy, just as I came to my first Saturn return. Guided by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and the wisdom of Jan Boss, I embarked on a transformative journey that continues to shape my writing to this day.

We live at a time in history where the old order and structures we have come to rely on are transforming. Yes, it’s a breaking apart of the familiar; it’s unsettling and can leave us feeling challenged at times. And yet, we have this opportunity to shape a transition towards wholeness and balance—that which is created out of the chaos

I believe we are blessed to be a part of this new creation for the world. As my friend Jan Boss used to say, “The age of the guru is dead!” There is no one outside ourselves to save us— we’re It! We are who we’ve been waiting for. 

Enlighten Up Cafe is designed to fill our cups with a knowingness of purpose, belief in our ability to plug in to that Source that heals and renews, and be that which we know in our hearts we are capable of being.

Thank you for visiting Enlighten Up Cafe. Your perspectives and feedback are not just welcomed, they are invaluable in shaping my understanding of how I can best serve you, the reader, on this journey of higher learning.

Here’s to you,
