I love life, family, friends, writing, great literature, books, art, dolls, fabric, paper, fiber arts. Feel at home just about anywhere. Love travel. Want to visit Japan someday. I blog about art and small business. Love coffee, edamame, sashimi, and ice cream. Love hot weather, slate colored skies, and rocks. Born and still Catholic, I'm always on the lookout for God and His presence. My art website is currently sadly neglected. I hate to vacuum. My siblings are cool. I'm a morning person. I'm a Gemini -- a two-headed thing. What else...

I grew up around the Great Lakes, attended University of Nebraska (English/Art history) and couldn't wait to graduate and pursue my own twisting/turning line of studies. I went on the Great Peace March in 1986. I was a bank teller, got married, moved to Silicon Valley and sold semiconductor equipment in the mid-late 90s before becoming a stay-home mom. I'm married to a talented, funny, smart, generous man (of course) and have three amazing, nice, creative kids (of course). I'm flighty and impatient, but grateful and optimistic most days.

I'm writing my first book on small business owners in central TX, so I don't have as much time lately to take pictures, but I still love Flickr and would never think of letting my account expire. I'm inspired by all you fab photographers and the amazing pictures you take. Thank you to the Flickr community.
