About Me

I'm easygoing and look for the best in people, but I'm nobody's fool. I am writing young adult novels (teens) and my background is in journalism, politics and running youth programs as a social worker. A do-gooder with a practical side, I don't take myself too seriously. I enjoy running on the beach or hiking every day (if possible).Change is my friend, and I love shaking up the routine when it gets stale.-to-5 job to consult and write. Oh yeah, I’m a stickler for grammar and punctuation (unless I really like you?) and am liberal with my use of commas:)I used to plan my vacations so I could see everything but now I like to go with the flow. Last year I visited a writing retreat in a tiny village in the south of France with only 50 people. I can small talk with the best of them, but I'm turned on by deeper conversation. I love eating exotic foods: Indian, Japanese, Thai, French, even vegetarian:), but I'll always have a soft spot for my Mom's Chicken Florentine. I love dessert and will gladly skip dinner for it. Ice cream, cake and brownies are faves.My taste in music runs from classic rock to pop to movie soundtracks to new age. Like goofy movies, guy comedies,dramas and independent films mostly (anything except horror).I consider myself spiritual and gave up Catholicism long ago. (Though does one ever really escape?!)I'd love to hike, run, chow down on good eats, go to a movie, concert, basketball or baseball game with you – or just veg out and eat Ben and Jerry’s. I'm game to try anything once as long it doesn't land me in jail. Although that would be a good thing to write about…! I'd love to meet for coffee/tea and get to know each other a bit. I'm not a big phone or *** -prefer to meet face-to-face for a brief chat. Then a hike or a walk or some other activity. A movie or concert. A few hours at the beach. Farmer's markets. With the right person, anything is fun:)

    Fun, single, mom...I have a two year old who is my pride and joy. I have a great job and own my own home. I'm not into games and not looking for drama. I have never been married because I just don't think I've ever met my equal - someone who will challenge me, make me a better person and love me for me. Anything I have, I've gotten on my own and I want my son to be proud of his mom. I'm looking for a guy who wants to spend time outdoors...hiking, camping, adventure! You must be responsible, honest and caring, love animals and kids, nature, and if you love art, huge bonus. Simple and easy.

True, but it goes beyond that. Don't judge a book by its first words, first paragraphs, even its first pages. In fact, don't judge a book until you have fully read and comprehended it.~“Judgments prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.”~“Honesty is the first chapter of the book wisdom.” ~“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ~ We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another. ~;Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind”~ William Shakespeare“If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.” ~“The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.” ~;These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter…. I go somewhere to get something... then wonder what I'm here after."
