Tell us something more about you:

Funny:I brush my teeth in public.


Serious: I haven’t read a book in over a year and I think my mind is turning to mush.


Entertaining: My husband and I make up the most ridiculous songs and sing them in full voice…usually when we are doing something we detest…like when we spent four hours looking for my wedding ring at the beach.


Philosophical: It’s not a big deal.


Exciting: A friend and I went to London for the weekend this summer so she could see her obsession (Orlando bloom) perform in a west end play. I still can’t believe we did that.  We live in California!


True: I believe in being authentic…especially when it’s difficult.


Meaningful: I have an amazing family! We are all close, healthy and love each other. My husband is amazing.


Powerful: Positive thinking creates a positive life.

Name 2 of your weaknesses: I am not organized in any way, shape or form.  Also, I have no idea how people can master laundering their clothes. I cannot keep up with laundry and I have had about four pairs of pants hanging on the back of the bathroom door for about six months…just waiting to be ironed.


Name 5 of your strengths:Listening, loyalty, calmness, I love to laugh and I love to enjoy life.
