: About Me

My passion is ...

Linda's Fudge Cake at the Cheesecake Factory

I know too much about ...

Sinful desserts

My parents always told me ...

"You can do anything you set your mind to."

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a concert violinist.

My favorite memory ...

That's not fair, I have at least three. Coloring in hummingbird coloring books with my mother and sister. The day my husband and I were married. When my newborn daughter was placed on my chest and our eyes met for the first time.

Why I write ...

To share my thoughts and feelings with others.

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

Recently finished reading "The Devil Wears Prada, by Lauren Weisberger; currently reading books on writing, i.e. "If You Want to Write," by Brenda Ueland; a book on the Hindu religion entitled: "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hinduism" by Linda Johnsen/watching all the CSI shows plus"Criminal Minds," "Shark," "House"/listening to "Led Zeplin," "Days of the New," "The Cranberries," "Flyleaf," "David Lantz," "Joshua Bell"

My first job ...

I was a 14-year-old babysitter for two small children and a baby.

My best moment ...

At my age (50) I believe I'm entitled to have more than one best moment. I've been fortunate to have what I would consider many best moments. I'll have to give you at least two. 1) The day my husband proposed to me. 2) When my daughter and I saw each other face to face.

My inspiration ...

My mother's words and actions continue to inspire me even though she is no longer with me; my sister is a constant inspiration as are my daughter and my husband.
