Introduction Growing up in the Pacific Northwest left me with fond memories of my childhood in what the locals call the Emerald City. In 1976, a vacation to Southern California changed my life forever. The lure of sun and sand for a 20 year-old girl who had heretofore spent a lifetime under pewter skies – was forever changed. Since then, my work continues to divide my time between Southern California and Washington. I am pulled between the incredible beauty of Seattle, the warmth of Southern California and lifetime friendships in both locals. Just when life was going well, I was handed a Colon Cancer diagnosis in 2008. Battling "The Dragon" tested my life perspective and uncovered an inner strength to fight the dark days and heal. After receiving a second chance, everything in life took on a new perspective. To honor life, this blog explores the many gifts and insights we encounter along our way.
Interests Writing, photography.
