Melissa believes in family and raising children in a creative, loving, and inspirational environment. She herself has four young children (11 year old boy, 10 year old boy/girl twins, and a two year old) that have truly helped her continue seeing the world through a child’s eyes—pure creative imagination! In 2007, Melissa made a decision to leave her six-salary career at IBM to pursue her passion as a children's author, motivational speaker, social media expert, and self-development consultant.

Melissa spends her personal time coaching soccer and fastpitch softball, painting, playing guitar, and coming up with fun art projects for she and her kids. She also blogs for Working Mother blog, has guest blogged for Charlotte Observer Mom's Charlotte, and has her own personal blog at Not Your Ordinary Psychic Mom.

Melissa's greatest accomplishment is her children. They are the ones who inspire her to go after her dreams and to make a positive difference in the world. And one difference that she is committed to is volunteering, building 
awareness and fundraising for JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). Her twin daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes November 4, 2011. To learn more about Madison's type 1 diabetes disease please read
