: About Me

My passion is ...

Reading

I know too much about ...

Nothing - you can never know too much

My parents always told me ...

Hold your head up

My childhood ambition ...

To be a teacher

My favorite memory ...

Seeing my first Easter basket as a little girl

Why I write ...

I write as a release

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

I am reading Parting of the Waters by Taylor Branch. I am watching CNN entirely too much. I am listening to Michael, both young and old.

My first job ...

My first job was answering the phones at a Naval recruiting office

My best moment ...

My best moment was feeling the first movement of my first son in my womb

My inspiration ...

My mother was my inspiration. The memory of her still inspires me.
