She specializes in a medley of visual and written mediums from short stories and poetry to graphic design illustrations and custom murals for a variety of clients.  Her passion for visual art derives from her great-grandfather.

Jullieth Cragwell, outreach coordinator for Annuity.org, requested that we discuss Financial Literacy ,  Financial Abuse  and Financial Infidelity   Financial Literacy begins with completing a Financial Needs Analysis . This is where you list all your monthly bills, seasonal and annual bills. Add in the average budget for menu planning. Add in the vehicle or transportation costs. This tells you what it takes to pay for: food, transport and housing. Nothing extra here - no hair styling, no nail visits, no massage or workout fees. Just your basic financial needs.

A little Youtube

It was a sincere pleasure to respond to Rita's question on our Brummet Media Channel (Youtube):  "When did you write your first book & how did it come about?" The very first book published was Trash Talk - It's Easy To Be Green . It began, really, with a column I once wrote for about 6 years or so that was published internationally.  Today this has evolved into a 2-book series that covers a lot of ground from explaining the recycling industry, sharing inspiring information, offering ways to reduce waste via reconsidering, rethinking, recycling, reducing, repurposing and conscious, proactive living.
