Privacy is not something that I’m merely entitled to, it’s an absolute prerequisite.
Marlon Brando

As I moved through my life, I have kept very clear lines and boundaries between my personal life and my work life.  Others have not shown me the same respect and intruded on my privacy rights.  For this I have taken action and reestablished my right to privacy. It is a must in my life.  I choose what I share, with whom, when and for what purpose, always have always will.

Simply because I make public my poetry, share some of my personal life story to help others, and use my personal life wisdom learnings to feed the wellsping of my deepest life purpose passions, does not mean that I have in any way given up my personal rights and freedoms to privacy.
