Author: Elizabeth Dubno

I am a dreamer, living in this crazy world and trying to soak up as much beauty as I can. Living in San Diego for the last decade, as well traveling overseas, I love visiting the beach, watching the waves crash on the shore. I am an author with one published book now being reimagined, and another work in progress for publication next year. I am a survivor who wants to see a world where people no longer have to hide behind their own mask, but be free to express who they are. God is the center of my life, and He is the reason I am alive, the reason for everything to me. I believe in love! I believe that because God loves EVERYONE, that I am called to love them too, no matter their lifestyle choices, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious beliefs or lack thereof. I choose love. It's just so much easier than hate! God bless all of you!
