I like to use words, lots of them! Who I am depends on who you ask: I'm a wife, I'm a mother, grandmother, friend, starving artist, CASA volunteer for abused and neglected children, fitness FREAK (I especially love my gym CrosSport, yoga, distance and trail running), I'm a child of God an ambassador of love and peace (when I'm not having a bad day or behind a slow driver), and a nature enthusiast. I am proud to wear my heart on my sleeve even when it means saying too much or being too vulnerable but also to analyze the world with a scientific mind intent on discovering empirical facts and underlying motives. In other words, I make mistakes but I try to live my life to the fullest in commune with my people, my world and my God and, despite the pain life can throw down, I am happy!
