I am a freelance writer and editor specializing in motivational writing and humor. I've been a humor columnist for newspapers in Orlando and in Oregon.

I discovered Abraham-Hicks a few years ago, and writing about Law of Attraction and its countless aspects is my deepest joy. I'm currently blogging about that delightful subject at www.abrahamfun.com.

When not at my trusty computer working on projects and/or reading funny emails, I enjoy attending Orlando Magic basketball games, philosophical discussions, composing muzak, and eating Bakers Chocolate squares. (Go figure.)

In 2001, I moved from Ashland, Oregon, to the Orlando area, where I live with my feller, Mark, teenage daughter, Emily, and various imaginary friends.

My passion is ...

Life - the thing that happens to you while you're making other plans.

I know too much about ...

Dust bunnies

My parents always told me ...

To speak so people can hear you and write so people can read it.

My childhood ambition ...

To marry Ricky Jones up the street as soon as I turned seven

My favorite memory ...

When son Joel's high school football team won the Oregon state championship

Why I write ...

The office jobs were borrrrring and I couldn't wear my bunny slippers.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

The Sounds of Silence

My first job ...

Dipping Dilly Bars at the DQ

My best moment ...

Being born wasn't so bad, for openers

My inspiration ...

Mark Toms, my beau, confidante, life partner, and the person who gets me out of computer jams on a regular basis

Who WAS That Math Man?

When my kids were learning math, I told them to think of it as a game, a fun puzzle. I encouraged them to be "Math Man," a caped crusader zooming around the planet (and/or jumping off the couch) while finding answers to problems and solving equations.

My older son, Smitty, bumped it up a notch. Years later, following marriage and a stint in the Army, he enrolled at the University of Florida with a major in mathematics. The very NAMES of his courses, such as "Binary Algebraic Multi-Trigonometric Calculus," could give cold chills.
