About Me


WWW.NORACARON.COM"It is easier to fall into the pit of fear than to climb the mountain called Love" ( Journey to the Heart).
Summary of JOURNEY TO THE HEART:
The journey to true love is not as easy as some believe. Most who enter the path will find it is not the fairy tale and dream they first imagined. In poetic fashion Journey to the Heart shows the path of a woman who moves from bitterness and anger into peace and understanding. Lucina, a disillusioned twenty five year-old computer programmer, travels to Mexico to seek healing and to find new meaning in her life. By chance, she encounters a deeply insightful Mexican woman, Senora Labotta, who slowly helps her come into contact with her inner self. But Lucina is stubborn and jaded, and has difficulty stepping out of her shell into a universe of fluidity and magic. Teleo, a charming green-eyed herbalist, helps to lure Lucina away from her old self and leaves her with a choice: either return to her fears and anxieties, or follow her heart into an unknown land, a land which has no past and no future.
Journey to the Heart hits stores in November 2008.
About me:
I have been writing for fifteen years, mostly poetry and short stories. It is my hope that through my writings others shall gather strength and courage to walk their respective spiritual paths. Presently, I am finishing my M.A and working on a thesis dealing with Shakespeare and representations of madness on stage. I teach languages for a living and practice REIKI.

My Interests

Writing, reading, playing violin, singing and playing guitar. Rock climbing, tennis, snowboarding, scuba diving, kung fu, swimming, hiking, and jogging. Photography and film. Reading about philosophy, religions, spirituality and world issues.

I'd like to meet:


Future readers, seekers of truth, people with love stories to share and spiritual journeys to take, and especially warriors of light.

Music:

Vibration 9, Dixie Chicks, Tracy Chapman, Thom Yorke, Radiohead, Coldplay, and everyone else who has a strong positive message and a sense of true music.

Movies:

The Peaceful Warrior, The Matrix, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, Pan's Labyrinth, Waking Life, What the Bleep.

Television:

Tv, in my opinion, serves to dim the wits of intelligent life. I avoid it, but sometimes if I am too tired to read a good book or do exercise, I watch LOST. It reminds me of the confusion that we ourselves feel daily in such a chaotic and complicated world.

Books:

Dan Millman, Carlos Castaneda, Paulo Coelho, Merilyn Tunneshende, Florinda Donner, Taisha Abelar, Deepak Chopra, Don Miguel Ruiz, Hermann Hesse, Dostoevsky, Shakespeare, Nietzsche, and of course myspace writers Anthony Marais, Nancy Reiter (unplugged), Dorothy Jo (SpiritPoetry) and Malcolm Campbell.

Heroes:

Anyone who overcomes their fears, who doesn't quit when the going gets tough, who faces the unknown with strength and open eyes.
