Hi, I’m Debbie. I’ve been running my own yachting business for years, curating unforgettable experiences on the water. From local charters and boating clubs to unique day retreats blending meditation, yoga, and sailing, I create experiences where adventure and nature meet mindfulness. I also lead immersive 10-day international retreats—combining sailing and meditation or women's writing and outdoor exploration. But I've had stories burning within me for years, and it's time to let them sail, so to speak. I'm currently working on three book projects—two fiction and one non-fiction. Rather than juggling all three, I've decided to focus on just one and see it through to publication. Trying to juggle them all at once is starting to feel chaotic even for me – a chronic over-scheduler. For the longest time, I’ve told myself I’m "too busy" to focus on writing. But the reality is that I’m always busy, and that’s just the life I’ve chosen. So why not make time for what really matters to me? I’m done with that excuse, and now it’s time to put my heart first and see where it leads. I am happy to meet everyone and inspired by the comments!

Happy New Year everyone! May it be a healthy and prosperous one for all of us. Looking forward to being a part of this group.

Writng a book on Transformation Using Acting and Success Tools. Goal is to publish in 2025!

I'm about 17 days away from publishing my book. Currently focused on testing different versions of the book covers. Please let me know which one you like the most and why. The designs were done by Adam DiLernia, Seedsprout Consulting.

I’ve switched genres and made decent progress on my draft but it has gaps and I would like the first three pages or so to grab readers more and keep them interested. I’m hoping this helps get the draft finished and that by the end of 2025 (at the latest), it will be ready to submit for publication.
