“ MY LIFE DID NOT TURN OUT IN ANY WAY THE WAY I THOUGHT IT WOULD WHEN I STARTED DOWN THIS ROAD TWO YEARS AGO. SO I HAVE COMPLETELY THROWN OUT MY ROAD MAP AND NOW I JUST GO FOR IT. BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE. and it sold for $5.00. My father helped me edit and we sold in two years about 300 copies. I put it in the back of my closet for about 10 years and then took it out and hired an illustrator about two years ago to update the book. This book is 15 ideas of how to bring romance back into your relationship. I am a time person. I believe that to many of us don’t give of our time and really miss out on lasting, healthy, romantic and meaningful relationships. So many are living their lives on social media for a show instead of with the person they are with. It is a bad game to play as you will never be fulfilled if you rely on masses to make you happy. It has to first start with you and a connection with your partner. That all comes down to one word: ‘TIME’. When I wrote this book it was personal as it had to do with a relationship that I was in during my early 20’s that was very important to me. What is the story behind the “3Moms and a Napkin”, the documentary that you and Victor Master created and do you plan on producing any other projects in the future?

When it came time for the festival, it was turned over to the children to run, question and manage the entire production. It is the only one of its kind in the world. We felt it was a great subject. However, we did not make it into the contest and now Victor Masters is entering it into the 2013/2014 film festival circuit. We shall see how it goes for us. After doing two movies and participating in every aspect except directing, I can tell you that I have no desire to do it again. But, that could change given the people and circumstances that present themselves to my life. I keep myself open but I am not looking for it. For those whom have not watched the documentary of your life, called ‘The Journey To Myself’ (which was released in July 2012 and won the ‘Award of Merit’ for the Indie Film Festival, of La Jolla, California, and an ‘Official
