I'm just a girl who grew from a daughter to a mom with an extended detour as a wife. I'm the quintessential Cancer, a wanna-be artist,  a questioning Catholic, a believer in the underdog and a closet romantic.

I'm thankful for my three kids, who–even on the worst of days– remind me that life is better with hugs, giggles and cupcakes  (or ice cream…or both). Being their mom means juggling the roles of disciplinarian, cheerleader, chief boo-boo kisser, advocate, teacher, chauffeur, chef, laundry mistress, tutor, housekeeper, alarm clock, coach and hopefully, someday, friend (but not right  now; they need a mom first). 

Being a single mom means supporting them, so I spend far too much time doing work that I love: writing the stories that others share with me. Sometimes they inspire, sometimes they caution and sometimes they bore (I'm not usually one to sugar coat much) but they're always important. Our memories are important. The legacies we create are important. We are important.

If you want to check out my writing business, you can watch the presentation below, check out my writing and speaking website or become a fan on Facebook. If you're really wild and crazy, you could even pick up the phone and call.  

Whatever you do, I hope you come back to visit. Better yet, sign up and make sure we stay in touch (I don't send emails often, but when I do they're good) or opt for the RSS feed. When all else fails, send me a note and tell me what you think.
