It’s almost time for the 2nd annual Equanimity Awards Benefit Gala. This event, being held in Addison, Texas on October 14, 2016 will be the place to be if you’re in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Hosts Donnie Brown and Amy Vanderoef will be taking the stage to help raise money to build a new water system. From the event’s website:
“The Equanimity Awards Benefit Gala benefits the JB Dondolo, Inc. charity. The purpose of this event is to raise funds (in-kind and monetary donations) for a clean water system that will serve a community of 20,000 people. This is phase one of the entire “Hospital Hope” project. There are other phases that require immediate attention such as maintenance and refurbishment.
The Equanimity Awards Benefit Gala also honors individuals through awards in various categories including media partner, entrepreneur, community achievement, humanitarian, champion, breakthrough, leadership and more.
The Equanimity Awards Benefit Gala is where people from various backgrounds can connect with like-minded individuals for a common and good cause – to support each other and support our community.”
There will be both live and silent auction items. I’ve seen some of the jewelry that will be available, and it is STUNNING. Last year, I received the honor of the Most-Liked Writer Award. While I wasn’t able to attend to receive the honor in person, the event was a success.
If you would like more information about the event, or if you are ready to purchase tickets to the event, you can do so here. Disclosure: I am the Fundraising Coordinator for the JB Dondolo charity, and I have been working with Lumbie Mlambo and Equanimity Magazine since its inception.

Hello there, and welcome to my page! I have been working as a full-time freelance writer and editor since 2008 when I decided that while I rather enjoyed philosophy, the Ph.D. program I was in was not a good fit for my life goals. Since then, I have published many papers and articles, started two blogs, worked as a senior editor for a magazine, served on the board of a start-up non-profit organization, and walked across fire.
I strongly believe that it is important to work to make the world a better place – one project at a time. I’ve worked with Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program to construct living quarters for those in need, written content for Stonewall Alliance, and edited the newsletter for my local natural foods cooperative. One of the blogs I founded, Activism My Way is dedicated to helping people get involved with causes they feel passionate about.
Although my academic background is in philosophy and social and political theory, my heart has always been in writing fiction and poetry. I have a novel in progress, and I am working on putting together a collection of short stories to share with readers. I also worked as part of a creative team on a project with a hip hop artist that involved world-building and creating an amazing back story to a concept album. I have worked with several authors to edit their novels (as well as dissertations, children’s books, journal articles, and non-fiction projects).
Non-fiction topics I have written about include pop culture and philosophy, project management, business startups and management, insurance, technology, and much more. I also have created web content for a wide variety of clients (ranging from gas station owners to hotels to lawyers), and I’ve had an opportunity to interview some amazing people (Michele May, Kevin Sorbo, Barbara Taylor Bradford, and Mark Victor Hansen to name only a few). Needless to say, I love what I do.
I enjoy photography, and my subjects these days are usually my children as well as food, beverages, craft projects, and other such things for my blog, Wining Wife™. My favorite subjects are landscapes, nature (particularly clouds, flowers, and trees), and architecture.
