Attention please...I have changed my profile photo from one of me when I was in my 30's to the one you see now. I did it, just as I did last time, because it makes me happy. Real pictures of me can be found in "my pictures" which is open to anyone.

I am now quite happily divorced since 12/10/07. I'm contentedly living my life surrounded by good friends, awesome children, wonderful neighbors and enough good books to keep me happy for a long time. I love a good stiff drink, a lively conversation and the company of a good man.

Life would be a long, difficult journey if not for the love of family and friends. Now and then on our journey we meet someone who is special enough to turn our head. When that happens it is a gift and not something to be taken lightly. I am blessed.
