Smoke Screen A True Story About The Lives Destroyed By Smoking


I'm happy to announce my new book on Amazon Kindle: Smoke Screen, A Cautionary Non Fiction Account of Manipulation and Deception http://alturl.com/sc4yu This book is 40 years in the making and began when my dear sweet departed beloved Mother was pregnant with me.  I wrote this book to share my personal story with involuntarily breathing toxic secondhand smoke and raise awareness about the truth big tobacco heinously hides and the ugly nasty addiction that destroys lives from coast to coast and around the world.  I am no longer the shy awkward scared little girl who was stifled and was not allowed to speak about this issue.  Instead, today, I'm a strong independent free thinker new Mother and happily married and I will no longer remain silent about this crucial issue that continues to hurt and destroy families with its toxic poison. I wrote a very special Memorial to my dear sweet beloved departed Mother and I dedicate this book to her.

My Gratitude For Being A Wise Healthy Sober Mama Part II


Mother's Day has always been a very special day for me because I celebrated with the 2 most important women mentors in my life, my Mama and my Grandma.  Sadly, my Grandma passed away 20 years ago due to the insidious ugly cigarette smoking addiction that hooked her, and my Mama couldn't process the grief so her therapist got her hooked on big pharma anti-depressant meds.  Sadly, my dear sweet beloved Mama recently passed and the overwhelming painful grief is really taking its toll on me.  Unlike my Mama, I'm processing the grief in a healthy manner and I'm doing my best to take extra good care of my health with good caring tender loving self care, including delicious healthy homemade meals, Bach Flower Rescue Remedy and organic essential oils, Ayurveda, and organic chamomile tea.  I'm also busily writing important informative articles that raise awareness and that is very therapeutic and helps me feel better.  

I'm in the process of editing a book I wrote that shares a story about a very famous Hollywood family that I was raised by and grew up in and tells the truth about big tobacco and the countless lives it destroys in its path.  I wrote a dear sweet loving Memorial to my Mama, especially since I'm the only person in my family who will acknowledge that involuntarily breathing secondhand cigarette smoke from the cigarettes that her Mama, my Grandma, smoked contributed severely to her ill health.  This important special eye opening book will be published in print this Fall 2013.  Please stay tuned for writing and publishing updates on my Facebook Author Fan Page.

I miss them both and I feel tremendous painful grief and sadness that my dear beloved Grandma's addiction ate way at her and I feel sad that my Mama couldn't live without her meds and she could barely talk.  Thankfully, I inherited their beautiful wonderful healing Love and today, I'm a hard-working devoted Mama to my wonderful beautiful little 1 year old baby, Michelangelo.  He's growing into such an amazing, smart, adorable, funny little boy and he's truly magical.  I smile when I look into his eyes and I see my beautiful eyes and smile in him.  

Thank goodness, I'm Blessed and strong enough to not succumb to insidious vices and addictions that destroy the body.  Stress and anguish are part of my life, but I'm grateful for the comedy, entertainment, beautiful intimate moments with my dear husband and the sweet fun moments with my dear husband and baby boy to help me get through it.  Booze, cigarettes, and drugs have no place in my life and that will continue everyday that I Honor and respect the red lights of life, as well as my intuitive Inner Voice.  Happy Mother's Day to all devoted, caring, loving, nurturing, hard-working Mamas and may your life be filled with Peace and Love.
