Yet, though I am not what I ought to be
nor what I wish to be
nor what I hope to be
I can truly say, I am not what I once was.

– John Newton

Here are some things I do, which of course define me more than the words I write:

• I own and operate Always Midnight, a small venture into the world of selling accessories
• I am President and Founder of The Midnight Society, a ghost-storytelling / folklore organization
• I am a member at City Church of Richmond, a church committed to working for the city’s renewal
• I write for RVANews, the finest local news source in town
• I work part time at Congregation Beth Ahabah as the Religious School Administrative Assistant
• I am a board member at SynerGeo, a neighborhood art center here in Oregon Hill
• I play softball every summer with the mighty Tidal Waves
• I Tweet, and that’s where you can find tidbits that were too tiny for full-on blog posts
• I read a lot, when I’m not sewing or crocheting or learning to cook something new
• I take a lot of pictures
• I run for exercise or do Wii Fit on alternating days
• I spend my summers picnicking and going on day trips around Virginia
• I’m getting married in October to the most amazing man I’ve ever met
