I wondered who could be a better narrator of the story of Jesus than his own Jewish mother? When I was young, as a European Greco-Christian, I was aware of some of my Jewish history, but writing According to Her, I tried to imagine the story of someone considered to be a Messiah or prophet by some Jewish followers. What could be the genuine story of something that really happened or was told? This led me to write a realistic novel about how it could have been.

Self-Made: Curating Our Image from Da Vinci to the Kardashians
So this idea that we can present ourselves as works of art, that we can create ourselves has always had a particular sort of aristocratic coding, historically associated with monarchs, who create their public image and their public persona, including through fashion. Today, if we don't self-promote, self-create, and self-brand, will we find the right partner? Get into the right college? Even secure the best job?

Author of Conversations with God

This is not who I am. This body is not who I am. I'm not my mind. I'm not my body or my mind. My true identity is I am a spiritual entity having a body and having a mind, but I am using these tools as pieces of equipment with which to complete the agenda of my soul. I am a spiritual entity. That's who I really am. I'm saying that everybody can have a conversation with God, and I tell people that there are six tools that they might use in order to step into that experience.
