What is a VIV Moment?

A VIV Moment is a point in your life when everything clicked and you discovered something new about yourself. You may have experienced a VIV Moment while running your first marathon, after publishing a novel, or while shopping for shoes. Perhaps you felt it after the collapse of a marriage, the passing of a parent, or other enduring hardship. Whatever the case, this split second defined you and taught you an important lesson.

These VIV Moments were submitted by real, inspiring women — just like you. Enjoy these stories, ponder your own VIV Moments, and delve into what it means to Live VIV.

Interests: Charity work, writing, the gym.

Joie de VIVre: My children, my writing. I have loved writing my books. The Devil’s Tears (Matador, 2008) made me cry and laugh, and I loved the supernatural element in it. Silent Night (Matador, 2010) was so intriguing I had to keep writing to see what was going to happen next — and the ending surprised even me! I just finished my next book, The Singhing Detective, which will be published at the end of 2010.

Hometown: Victoria, TX
Joie de VIVre: Spending time with my family — my children, Nicholas, 19, and Melanie, 17, are my pride and joy. I have been married to a wonderful husband, Doug, for 23 years and my parents are the source of who I am and what I have accomplished. Pilates and Muscle Flex classes help me to feel strong. Most of all I love God and what he has done for me.
