About me

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.

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.
