: About Me

My passion is ...

music, reading, writing and trying to learn from the mistakes I've made.

I know too much about ...

the old adage..."Life isn't fair." Not that I'm complaining, it's just been a steady observation of mine.

My parents always told me ...

to be grateful for what I have and not to focus on what I do not have.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be the female version of "Indiana Jones." Either that or an astronaut. Never could make up my mind.

My favorite memory ...

feelings of that first "true" love. There are very few emotions more powerful than love. It can make or break you.

Why I write ...

because I have always felt a compulsion to write.

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

Listening to the radio and reading articles online

My first job ...

was at a movie theater. It was great... all the free popcorn I could eat!

My best moment ...

Hearing my children's heartbeat for the first time by ultrasound.

My inspiration ...

comes from my children. The innocence and pure joy they have on a daily basis is absolutely captivating and truly inspiring.
