Never Too Late To Dream

In this autobiography, I talk about the trials I faced when I had scoliosis… the casts and operations that lasted for three years. Attending college, serving as a young missionary, and falling in love were years to remember. Why did I call this book “Never Too Late To Dream?” Every accomplishment I achieved happened after I turned 50.

After the age of 50, I graduated from college with a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre and Arts, I performed for a concert series and made a CD, and I became an author. I also toured the United States, teaching people how to write their biographies. I believe it is never too late to achieve your dreams. These were years to remember.
