In November 2011 she authored her first book, Dead Rita’s Wisdom – simple words to help you live an extraordinary life published by Wisdom Beneath My Wings Publishing. This book is about the wisdom Victoria received from her dearly beloved mother, Rita. Short, humorous yet profound chapters leave the reader in a thoughtful place to interpret the wisdom they have just read and think about their own wisdom. While this book isn’t about women or mothers, it is about the people in our lives who support us and sustain us. Victoria’s goal is that each reader comes to know the wisdom they have within that will help them reach their greatest dreams. She is leading and forming wisdom circles where the wisdom of one can benefit the beliefs of many.
