Kirsten O'Connor - John O'Connor/Celtic Castle Photography
I have a masters in Mental Health Counseling. I am working for a non-profit organization, Books for Charity, to establish and run a phone counseling program aimed at helping homebound or geographically challenged individuals obtain counseling services.
I am a mother of two beautiful children. My daughter is a year and a half old, and my son is twelve. My husband has his doctorate in psychology. We homeschool our children.
When I write articles, my areas of interest are nutrition, raising happy children, homeschooling, psychology, and self-fulfillment.
I am working on several writing projects. I am working on a nutritional book for vegans, a children's book, and a few novels. My husband and I are also writing on several book projects jointly.
