: About Me

My life has been one of exploration, passions and diverse interests. I was fortunate enough to be the daughter of a world traveling scholar and an opera soprano. Through them I learned about history, food, music, art, philosophy and, well, life. Everything I write is a tribute to them and the lessons learned.

My husband trained mortgage brokers for 5 years on the use of third party electronic origination software throughout the US. All in all, the mantra we always chant is BUYER BEWARE!
