In prior lives I swam through the waters of the corporate world and the classroom. I've been a wife, mom, divorcee, single mom, and soon, mom-in-law. Now I write, travel, invest, garden and am caretaker to deaf dachshund, Simon, age 14. I write a monthly article for a local mag and have been published in a couple national mags. Jennifer Louden's book, The Life Organizer, includes one of my pieces and an anthology of dog stories is coming with 3 of my essays. All in all, life is good.
