Boomer Of The Month - January 1999

When I was 17, I began to meditate and spent a month in 
an ashram in India.

Five years later I married and became a devout Catholic, 
much to the surprise of my Unitarian mother and grandmother. 
Today, a happy divorcee, I dedicated to feeling and honoring 
the presence of God in my life (see Finding Ecstacy ).
My 16-year writing career includes editing the Winston-Salem 
Chronicle, an African-American weekly, and working for
nearly four years as a minority in black-owned businesses. 
Nowadays I write public relations material on a
freelance basis for corporations, medical centers and 
universities.

Once I directed public relations for one of the country's 
most favored groups, the Girl Scouts, and more recently 
I tried my hand at the toughest public relations cause in 
America: human organ donation.

You'll find my writing in Southern Exposure, Business 
North Carolina, Hospitals, Southern LifeStyles and a 
number of regional newspapers and magazines. I am a member of 
the National Writers Union, the North Carolina Writers Network, 
the Washington Independent Writers group and the Women's
Independent Network. I send money to Jim and Sarah Brady on a 
regular basis.

A member of the local Sierra Club Sprawl Committee, I am keenly 
interested in how cities and communities can grow and still be 
friendly to human beings. One of my current heroes is author 
James Howard Kunstler.
