She has also written hundreds of articles for many children’s publications and a few adult ones.

SOME RANDOM ME

I am always trying to learn new things. I wake up each day with the hope that today I will be a better person than I was yesterday. That is my daily goal. 

I believe success breeds success. So always think about what you have done, not what you haven't. Everything you do now is an investment in what you will do in the future.

If I had a time machine and  could go back into the past and tell myself two things --

1. Enjoy life more.

2. Take many more risks.  

I love to bring order out of chaos. It's just the jazziest feeling. 

I think you should always take time to nap. 

I think that friends are precious, better than gold. 

And last, you can always change no matter what anyone tells you.
