    Places I've been
    Richmond, VA (Hometown), I was born in Key West, FL because my Dad was in the Navy, but left there as a toddler and was raised in Richmond, VA. Graduated school and businesss college there and married twice. First one ended in divorce. The second one ended in death. Both are bad, but death is worse. My husband was a hotel General Manager so we traveled around a lot. We transferred to Tampa, FL in 1989 with Marriott and we lived in Palm Harbor, FL. My daughter went all through high school there. After 4 years we transferred to Princeton, NJ for 4 years and then Wilmington, DE for a year and half. We ended up back in FL because of my daughter still being there. Richmond is still home though. I have 10 girls there that have been friends since grade school. We are all still very close and I'm the only one ot leave the roost. We call ourselves the Yaya's. I rent a house in the Keys twice a year. I LOVE it. I travel for business now, too, so I've been to a lot of places. The only place outside the US I've been is Mexico and Bahamas, but traveled a lot of the other 50 states and have relatives all over. I love to travel, love the beach, but also adore the city life of a lot of places especially NYC. I'm very flexible. Love to have fun and be silly and sensuous and funny at the same time. I'm learing how to act again after being a caretaker for my best friend and soul mate for 9 months. Prior to that he and I were on the same page. We both liked to dance, travel and have fun, but our pride and joy was a little 3 year old grandson who had us wrapped around our finger. Now, I have to be both of us to him. I'm strong, spritual (but not religious), positive, try to create my own reality and remember how powerful thoughts can be. I WILL SURVIVE!

    About Me

    I live in the Clearwater Beach area, but am originally from Richmond, VA.  I'm a widow with one grown daughter and 2 beautiful grandchildren.  They are probably my only reason for still staying in this area.  At the moment, I'm in Social Work, which I've been doing for the past 9 years, but on the verge of starting a new business in the hotel industry.  I love the beach, bike riding, traveling, dancing, music, outdoor events, reading a good book and having fun!  Laughter is very important and I love kidding around.  Age is just a number to me.  How old is your "energy" is the key question.  I love people and am definitely a people person.

     The last 19 months have been a roller coaster ride as I lost my husband of 23 years to cancer after taking care of him for 9 months.  We had a good life and always had fun together.  I'm trying hard to make it each day, but some days are tough when a part of you is missing.  I'm starting over and I'm staying positive.   I do believe attitude is important and I will find my way in time.
