who I am



By definition I am an introvert, although many would argue that. I never liked sports but took up running 2 yrs. ago as a way to release stress. When I am not running, I am busy taking care of business, a taxi driver to my 13 yr old, at band practice, volunteering, having coffee with a friend or spending time with my guy. I love cooking, I hate cleaning up. My house is a huge reflection of my life, always under renovation. And that’s okay because it seems I want to reinvent myself every five or so years.
I have had the humbling experience of being the reason for a charity event or two. Now I try to give back in whatever ways I can. 

I have more projects started than I will ever finish in this lifetime but if I only have an hour to myself I’ll choose going for a run.

I love style but have had a hard time accepting who I am.  Forever drawn to the classic blue jeans and white oxford shirt - too bad my curves didn’t like that outfit as much as I did. So in my mid-forties and feeling great, I am ready to embrace my curves.
Random thoughts. Memories. Special Moments. Sometimes it’s therapeutic to have a good rant, share a laugh or get lost in a moment of time. That’s what I like to scribble.

One day my mom asked me “do all your nights with friends revolve around food?” I guess they do. It’s a natural pairing. Good Friends. Good Conversation. Good Food. I’ve got a few favorite recipes and thought I would share them here.
