Donna Maria over at the Indie Beauty Network recently interviewed me about SunRose and my new book Chakra Balancing / A Beginner's Guide. To read the interview please visit: Indie Business Blog: Are You Cheating Yourself and Your Customers?

I would like to mention that I have to give the credit of this book design and layout to Toni Esser. It was a joy working with her, and she made my first book effortless and fun.!

As I am self published, without her help, this would have been a very trying experience. Anyone in business that wants to do a project like this, writing a book which would accompany a product you are offering .. this is the 'go to' person.

You can contact Toni :

For the Cat lovers of the world, I want to share with you a wonderful woman and her site.
If you have a moment, please watch the video, it is a 'feel good' few moments. Please visit:

Well, it was just a glorious day here in the Bronx, makes me want to 'play hooky' and just be out in Nature. With so many natural disasters happening around the globe, I am so blessed and grateful . Hope wherever you are on the planet, may it be a fragrant and wonderful Spring.!

Mother's Day is fast approaching. What better way to honor your Mom than to gift her with exotic and natural scents, after body oils, aroma jewelry, and much more.

To all the wonderful women in my life and that I have met throughout the years .. this is your day .. know how much you are treasured and honored.

Some quotes for Mother's Day:

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.
- Honore de Balzac sayings

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
- Inspirational sayings by Washington Irving

My Mom .. was my truest friend, and I miss her .. everyday. My Chakra book is dedicated to her, as she was my biggest supporter and believed in me .. even when I didn't believe in myself.

Please remember... whether you are a Mom or not .. to honor the Goddess within on this special day.!

She is an amazing Lady filled with much knowledge.

Over at Indie Business Blog, Donna Maria, has been doing these wonderful and informative video's for those in the 'natural products' industry. However, I do believe it is a must see for business owners and those just starting out in business. Take a peak at her blog and don't be afraid to explore as it has tons of valuable information. Oh and what is really cool, if you cannot listen to any of the 'call in' shows, you can hear them from the site at your convenience. This is a good thing.! Especially for those of us that have 'time management' issues.
