Outrigger Canoe Paddling

I know too much about ...

Welfare and its policies - good, bad and hurtful

My parents always told me ...

I could do anything I wanted if I tried hard enough

Why I write ...

Because I love to put my thoughts to paper - or computer screen.

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

Kite Runner

My first job ...

Camp Counselor

My best moment ...

Seeing my newborn children - all three

My inspiration ...

My husband - with his patience and tolerance
