Hello My Little Poppy Seed: An Expectant Mother's Love Poem

Hello My Little Poppy Seed is an expectant mother's love poem to her yet-to-be-born baby. Richly and lyrically illustrated, it is a celebration of the awe-inspiring development of a baby, comparing its growth to the size of various fruits.

I began writing Hello My Little Poppy Seed when my daughter was pregnant with our first grand-daughter, giving us weekly updates on how the baby was growing. The manuscript took several years to complete and I actually put it aside for quite sometime. The final words came to me in a rush when our daughter was pregnant with our second grand-daughter, three years later. I found the artist, Jennifer Dzik, through a series of miraculous events.

It is perfect book for both new mothers and fathers, whether given as a baby shower, birth or christening gift.

I am a creator, collaborator, coach and catalyst. I come from a long line of resilient, tenacious, imaginative, energetic, inspiring women who have been my strongest encoouragers. I'm a business owner, an entrepreneur, a former corporate leader, and a national speaker. I bring a distinct perspective to every book, project and effort in which I'm involved. I believe that there is creativity in all of us. I believe that together is better than separate. I believe that life is too long to only do one thing. I believe that life is too short to only do one thing. I believe that it is never too late for a new beginning. I believe that no one can quell the enthusiasm within us. I believe that the world is waiting for us to share our unique gifts. My family and friends are the center of my life and they all agree that someday my tombstone will be engraved, "Don't have too much fun without me!"
