About My Blog
Up Close and Personal
For years, I have served as a useful source of motivation, help or advice. I finally decided to own that role and be intentional about it. I started Lozzawriting with a mission to give others a taste of my thoughts and experiences, and I have been at it ever since. What started as weekly posts has evolved into a rich site filled with information about various topics that are near and dear to my heart.
Take some time to explore the blog and find what sparks your interest. Feel free to reach out if you would like to collaborate on a project together. Read on and enjoy!
