More about me

aportablelife describes the state of my world as I join eons. My home is in Atlanta, GA (Morningside/Lenox Park), but most weeks I head to ATL for a flight on Monday morning and fly home on Thursday or Friday. I work as a Senior Project Manager for a software company (client-side, for implementations). I'm new to the Road Warrior life in my 50's, it was never part of my plan, and the challenges are many, as are the rewards. But I do love my job and have to honestly say it's the job all my prior jobs and outside interests prepared me for.
Waiting at home for me is my husband, and there's no one on earth I'd rather argue with more. We have no kids and 4 cats and lots to keep us busy!
Words that resonate with me? Persistance, Passion & Wanderlust!
