About the Author
Fran Sorin is a coach, author, speaker, CBS radio news and Huffington Post contributor.
By the time Fran graduated from the University of Chicago, she knew that she wanted to combine her passion for living creatively with a deep desire to help people experience more fulfilling lives. She has spent more than 30 years working on her self and with clients on getting to their authentic creative selves and living extraordinary lives.
Her book, Digging Deep: Unearthing Your Creative Roots Through Gardening, was groundbreaking when published in 2004. It was the first book to address gardening in the context of creativity and as a tool for joy, well-being, and personal transformation. The New Revised Edition is even more vital today, because our culture has become increasingly obsessed with technology and progressively more nature deprived.
When Fran decided she wanted to share her passion for using gardening as a conduit for living creatively, she approached the local Fox TV station in Philadelphia about doing some gardening TV features and immediately became a fixture on the TV circuit. She spent years as a gardening authority on Philadelphia's Fox and NBC stations, was the regular gardening contributor on NBC's Weekend Today Show, and made several appearances on CNN, MSNBC, Lifetime, HGTV, DIY, and the Discovery Channel. She has also been a celebrity spokesperson for OurHouse.com, MSNBC, and Garden Weasel.
Fran's website, www.FranSorin.com, focuses on personal development and offers free resources to help improve your life.
