FIRST, LAST, MOST IMPORTANT: I AM AN INSTRUMENT OF PEACE AND GOODWILL AMBASSADOR. Peace On Earth is more than just a dream to me, it is my mission in life....and I intend to use my amazing gift of poetry to forward and facilitate Peace on Earth.Some readers' comments on my book, "Out of Cullen Street (A House of Madness)" (available at amazon.com):"I have read your book to others. You are living proof that the human spirit with God's help can conquer the most horrendous obstacles and from it help others.""Just wanted to let you know I read your book of poetry and I thought it was pretty incredible. I was actually quite blown away ... you have an incredible gift. The way you took the reader through the different steps of your past was incredible and sadly I felt I was there experiencing it. I could not put the book down and read it cover to cover." "Your poems are powerful, encompassing love, pain, strength, survival, spirtuality and more -- a true talent which I'm sure, derives from your own personal experiences. Excellent Work!"Described as an excellent therapeutic tool for both reader and writer, "Out of Cullen Street" is a poetic roller-coaster ride that chronicles the author’s interior and exterior experiences of a torture-filled childhood and her journey into forgiveness and healing.Anyone interested in the incredible abilities of the mind to heal and find sanity amidst violence, perversion and mental illness will identify with, and be touched, moved and inspired by, this fascinating true-life story.In Cullen Street, the author, a self-described “Goodwill Ambassador and Instrument of Peace,” uses paper as her canvas and words as her colors.The result is remarkable and unforgettable!The result is truly remarkable, and unforgettable. http://www.redleadbooks.com/msreguhu.htmlI sing bass with the Albuquerque Symphony Orchestra Adult Choir and the UNM-Valencia Campus Chorale Ensemble.I am on the Editorial Advisory Board of the Taj Mahal Review (India)I just completed writing the poetry and articles for the 2006-2007 Española Valley Visitors’ Guide – I believe it has just gone to press.Producer of TV show, “Not About Me” – airs on Public Access Channel 27 out of Albuquerque , 2nd Tuesday of @ month, embedded in "Your J&J Variety Show" (which runs 6-7 pm)Member of the Academy of American Poets, New Mexico State Poetry Society and Grande Valencia Poets Society,Member of the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ACLU,Founding member of the Rosa Parks Wall of Tolerance - The Wall of Tolerance is a public tribute to thousands of Center supporters and others who have advanced the cause of tolerance in America.
