Great question - oh, the possibilities. Hogwarts, Verona, Italy from Romeo and Juliet, and perhaps Oceania. But I will give you this answer, The Hundred Acre Woods. I'm a fan of A.A. Milne.

Well, first off, I don't accept that there is something called writer's block. Rather, it's a mindset block. It's the resistance we feel when are trying to put an opinion or idea forward and we worry about being judged.
When I feel stuck, I ask myself why and then I just try to write something. I don't care how good it is. I just try to write something as a way to get some momentum back. That usually helps me change my perspective.

I love the creative process and the ability to reach a global audience. I realize that not everything I write connects with everyone. My goal is to provide a pearl or two that will inspire readers to become the best version of themselves.

I wrote Shift for my two daughters. They were only 3 1/2 years old and 7 months on my Last Bad Day. I wanted to share with them and all readers of Shift that we can accomplish great things when we shift our perspective. When we do, we can change lives starting with our own.
