I am a mother of two beautiful daughters and wife to a wonderful husband (he does put up with me after all), and am currently taking a break from real estate sales, provided courtesy of our national "housing bubble."

My best moment ...

Living through the delivery of my first child

My inspiration ...

all of my life thus far and all those in it.
