About Me
I am an independent, mindful, intuitive, and creative married mother of 2 children. I am honest, altruistic, forward thinking, and approachable. I am a creative problem solver and enjoy critical thinking, breaking down behavior and issues, learning how processes work, and finding easier and more effective ways to live.
My favorite band is Led Zeppelin. I used to read 20 -25 nonfiction books per month and recently I stopped. I'm not sure why. I'm taking a break until something interests me. I like movies, sleeping in, sun on my face, and diving into cool water. I'm curious and usually see 8 sides to an issue. I'm often tolerant and indifferent to hot topics such as matters of race, ethnicity, religion but tend to lose my marbles if someone brings me the wrong dinner because I've been mentally preparing for a different one all day.
