About me

Industry Tourism
Occupation Director of Tourism Rural Southwest Alabama
Location Thomasville, Alabama, United States
Introduction Living in rural Southwest Alabama and enjoying the beauty of all of our scenic drives, our amazing Southern food and terrific Alabama hospitality. I love to travel,which is sort of how I landed in tourism. I have lived in the same house for 35 years with my resident ghost, "Mr. George". The house I live in was built by my greatgrandfather. I collect antiques, art, books, music and far too many other things. I believe that life is an adventure to be lived, not a problem to be solved. I am a storyteller. Kathryn Tucker Windham is my fairy Godmother. She has taught me a lot about finding the joy in everyday living and the value of using words to paint pictures in the mind.
Interests interested in all of life and its applications to the human spirit, loves to eat, travel, gets hungry for something to read just like I do something to eat, loves all kinds of music, loves to entertain and be entertained, paints, writes, invents recipes that actually taste good, enjoys asking "what if?", studies philosophy and spirituality with an irreverant eye
Favorite Movies Anything that at the end makes me sigh and say "Now wasn't that good!"
Favorite Music I love all kinds of music from Mozart to bluegrass to the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Dixieland Jazz makes me happy. I love the music on the aura channel on my television. I sing classical choral music and other choral setting.
Favorite Books Saying I have a favorite book is a weekly choice. It is whatever I happen to be reading at the moment.Of course being a southern girl, I'd have to say "Gone with the Wind", but I'd also have to say anything about the south that teaches me hertiage or makes me laugh. I love the mindstretching books about things like quantum physics (in layman's language, please) and am studying the Law of Attraction as presented in the Abraham-Hicks books

What if we could all get along and be happy on Planet Earth?
