- About me
Born June 19th, 1972 - lifetime student achievement award in Psychology, a former childhood Navy-brat born on Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor Washington, wonderful husband named Joe, no children, mostly full-time job.
i’m a voracious reader, a prolific writer, a terrific listener, a dedicated people watcher (windshield psychology), a good friend, a photographer, a singer and guitar player, a music and wine appreciator and a lover of cats. Odin, my kitty co-pilot, is a sepia snow-marble Bengal, which is a domesticated exotic breed: a cross between an Asian Leopard and an Egyptian Mau.
i’ve traded my time for money as a genius waitress and by completing odd contract jobs in freelance writing and photography. I consider myself a photographer
hobbyist who enjoys nature and shoots primarily digital. i spend much
of my time stomping through the woods & garden, chasing butterflies, combing
grass, lifting leaves and getting muddy.
i believe in the barter system and everything is fine so long as i eat, the bills get paid, i continue my education, live relatively stress free and enjoy my life.
