Are you ready for your wild ride?
Your Story is Waiting
to be Told

When I was an Uber driver, I learned very quickly that everyone has a story worth telling. Not only did it inspire me to write "The Joy of Uber Driving – A Wild Ride to Self-Love", utilizing my riders' stories, it inspired me to write my own story. The subtitle came later when I realized that writing my memoir was indeed a wild ride into self-discovery and finally Self-Love.
It is my contention that writing your memoir can be the most profoundly effective way to know yourself and subsequently love yourself. But it requires absolute honesty, which can be a bit challenging. For instance, I dedicated mine to the #MeToo movement because of my time in Hollywood as a "wannabe actress", a perfect set-up for failure and humiliation. We can scale yours down to a happy Self-Rememberance which may be more like a pony ride until you build the courage for the supersonic rollercoaster ride you may want to take later.
​
I can help you with either version, allowing you to have your own authentic voice. I have no attachment to any choice you make. I can guarantee that it will be a Joyride for you no matter which one you choose.

I retired at 79 when I had accumulated a life of wildly divergent career experiences after graduating from UCLA, going from actress to social worker, to costume designer, to Buddhist, to photographer, women's advocate and author. Finally, as an Uber driver I became a good listener, all of which set me up to be a good memoir ghostwriter, and editor .
