Collaborative content creation

  • FAITH-BASED & MOTIVATIONAL WRITING: I strive to serve God and encourage others through my writing, and I seek outlets for publications that serve Christian readers.

Industries and topics of expertise:

Motivation and Spirituality:

I have blogged extensively about how to strengthen three of life’s four essential connections: Connection with Self, Connection with Others, and Connection with God.

Nature and Environment:

I grew up on a farm immersed in the natural world, and I believe our connection with nature is one of life’s four essential connections (see above for the other three). I write to compel readers to explore nature and become amateur naturalists. When they do, they will fight to preserve what they have come to love.

Personal note writing:

I am on a mission to revive the art of personal note writing. I’ve shared thoughts and encouragement about the power of connecting through a handwritten note on my blog and a Facebook group called “The Art of the Heartspoken Note”.

Small and home-based business issues:

As an editor for the International Association of Home Business Entrepreneurs, iI managed a team of writers providing content for a membership website. I wrote about small business marketing and social media at SmallBizSpoken.com, but this is no longer an actively updated site.

Biology and medicine:

With an undergrad degree in Biology and a Master’s degree in Human Anatomy, I have also done transcription for a specialist in Internal Medicine and written health articles for a membership website. I wrote research reports for an engineering company with a government contract to do research on accessibility issues for handicapped, including mobility, visual, and auditory.

Public Education:

I served nine years on the Shenandoah County Public School Board, including two years as its chairman.

Banking and personal finance:

I have served since 1992 on the Board of Directors of First Bank and First National Corporation, serving on its Audit, Compensation, and Governance committees, and now the chairman of its board.

Family:

My husband and I have raised two wonderful children to adulthood, so parenting and development issues have always been an interest.
