Author Meet & Greet at Petaluma Copperfield’s and Una Vida Fundraiser (The March 16th event was cancelled and rescheduled to May 25th).

I’ll be signing my book, Self-Love Diet: The Only Diet That Works, at Copperfield’s. You can bring your book or pick up a copy at Copperfield’s. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the book and answer any questions. I look forward to meeting and talking with you!

Una Vida Fundraiser

A percentage of the sales from all copies of my book sold at Copperfield’s on Saturday, May 25th will go to Una Vida, a non-profit founded by Lynne Moquete that leads community development projects for volunteer groups in a rural corner of the Dominican Republic.

Una Vida’s Mission:

Una Vida’s mission is to empower impoverished families of rural Dominican Republic and Haiti while strengthening and reaffirming our own shared humanity, our need for empathy, and our devotion to serving others.

Una Vida’s Vision:

We are all accountable for recognizing and solving the issues facing our global/local community. Our vision is that Una Vida participants leave the Dominican Republic affected and impacted by the lessons of poverty such that they carry them always, and use them always, to engage in our global challenges, to serve others, to affect change.
