About Me:

Carving out a life has been an adventure. I ignored some rules, dropped the "shoulds" and learned to follow an inner guidance. Getting fired, getting arrested, being committed to a psych hospital with a backdrop of numerous college degrees and professional ventures while embroiled in the anguish of child custody lawsuit and pursuing sexual freedom and navigating the dating scene. It's all there!

Many tragic experiences could have led to a miserable existence. I held on to a deep knowing that all circumstances in life were designed to groom me for the real skills needed for a peaceful life. Each drama was a lesson in refining the edges of my personality. Each loss taught me a valuable lesson. I learned that I didn't need to live on the edge and ultimately cultivated the wisdom mystics teach.

Amazon review by Giuseppina Leva- Elaine is not only an interesting person in real life, but like a cat with 9 lives, she has turned each diverse circumstance endured from survival to ultimately thrival. Each chapter presents such a variety of experiences that explain why Elaine is such a fascinating woman with inspiring true stories to share, it is both motivating and at times heroic, and helps the reader belive that anything is possible.
