Like many of us, I struggle to fulfill the many different roles required of me in my constantly changing life. I try to balance my time and energy in a manner that moves me towards my goals, without losing sight of those who are important to me. I try to remember what brings me a sense of joy and wonder so that I never grow old in my thinking. And I try very hard not to take for granted that every day I’m here is a gift to be thankful for and treasured.
I am a successful business administrator, a business owner, an event organizer, a community volunteer, a coach, a counselor, a teacher, an editor, a parent, and a writer of novels and short stories.
I have been a chef, a waitress, a book seller, a call center manager, a cellular guru, a non-profit director, a Karaoke DJ, a trainer, a singer, and a technical writer.
I am a lover of books and the written word and I enjoy talking with others about a number of topics. I listen to an eclectic mix of music that ranges from top 40 to classic rock to country to new age. I like to travel and the words "Road Trip" get me every time, although my back isn't nearly as excited as the rest of me. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. I host one Murder Mystery Party a year and Margarita’s are my favorite drink. I like to relax by reading, playing computer games including MMO's and going to the movies.
I currently share my life with my husband and three dogs: Chris and Brianna, who are rescued mixed-breeds and Harley, a long-haired chihuahua, who's really in charge.
