“I have a belief that if we help other people acquire their fondest dreams, then our own dreams come true in the process. Five years ago I had the knock me over the head idea to form a group with seven other women with the sole purpose of helping each other achieve a monumental dream and teach the world to do the same in the process. In Sept. 2008 I formed this group to help the world achieve their dreams.”

“My lifelong dream is to be in the movies – lights, action and ME. My Saturdays were filled with double matinees, popcorn, soda and Jujubees to keep me fortified while I was immersed in “my” movies. A slight intermission temporarily stalled this dream – I raised three sons (my oldest is severely disabled). I am dismayed by the lack of movies made about and by women, so I collaborated with women to create the screenplay Divine Intervention. I want to show you how to write, pitch and successfully launch your first screenplay by following your dreams.”
