Meet Carmin

I wrote this book from the depths of my soul sharing deeply personal and sometimes very painful experiences.

I believe:

Life is a classroom. People and circumstances are our teachers. Learn the lesson well the first time and you won't have to repeat it.
The first face you should look to for love is the face of God (or whatever you call your higher power). The second face you should look to for love is your own. You are complete just as you are - whether you are in a relationship or not.
Until you address issues that are going on inside of you, you will continue to attract unsuitable mates. You attract who you are on the inside.

It is my hope that my story will be an inspiration to all who think they are alone in their quest for a satisfying relationship. You are not alone. I've been there. I've been married and divorced three times and experienced great love and great loss in love. However, I believe that if you can just figure out your relationship patterns and break or change those patterns, you will be successful in love.

In addition to being an author, I am a relationship coach and a motivational speaker. I specialize in speaking to college students about relationships, dating and date rape. I also speak to women's groups about relationship issues, pursuing one's passion, seeking one's purpose, self-publishing and entrepreneurship.

I am the mother of two wonderful adult children and the grandmother of one. I live in Tampa, Florida with my family.

I'd like to leave you with this thought. If you are a writer, don't die with your book or poem inside of you. If you are a dancer, begin to dance like no one is watching but don't die with your dance inside of you. If you are a painter, paint like you are Picasso but don't die with your picture inside of you.

Embrace all that you are and love yourself unconditionally.

Be blessed, and happy loving!
