My Mission:1) To promote Creative Generosity: generosity of spirit, before generosity of goods/cash.

- Bullied daily
- Vandalism
- Second-hand smoke

My 4 goals in sequence:
1. Get back on my feet after meeting all my financial obligations - all living expenses paid on time, all debts paid and a year of living expenses put aside - so I have no more anxiety about money.
2. Write and publish a book about my 13 year Generosity Experiment that sells 10,000 + copies so my patrons, sponsors and our charity earn money too so they will be thrilled with my promotional and sales efforts.
3. Build my retirement fund so I can live on the interest from investing it, from age 67 on, travel about the country as an activist, speaking about generosity of spirit.
4. Create a million dollar fund to subsidize other authors who are forced to stop writing, self-publishing, promoting and selling books online as I was.
No, I'm not the former mistress of Claus von Bulow, played by actress Christine Baranski in the film Reversal of Fortune, but thanks for asking.
This web site was banned by the board of directors and property manager of Geneva on the Park Condominiums in St. Catharines Ontario... because we all know only men should publish web sites. Right?
