| Introduction | I am a rare native Floridian -- second-generation no less, if you count my father, who was born while his parents vacationed in St. Cloud. I began my college education at Emory University, where I studied chemistry as a pre-med student. After two years and two tuition hikes, I followed my heart (and husband-to-be) to Miami, Florida, where I worked as a secretary at the University of Miami during the day and studied computer science at night. Two years later, I moved to Orlando, where I received a BS in Business Administration, followed by a CPA license and four children. I kept the children but let the CPA license go. My parents worried that my interests were scattered – I prefer to call them eclectic. Writing was the one constant – everything from guest editorial (My Word) columns for The Orlando Sentinel to newsletters for 4-H and school groups– so I decided to make freelance writing my career. I write about children, education, cooking, weight loss, nutrition and health, gardening, the environment, wildlife, pets, history, cultures, travel, and my home state of Florida. |
What's the best time you've ever had licking stamps?
The best time I ever had licking stamps was when I helped my mother put the S&H Green Stamps in the books shortly before Christmas. I knew that the chances were good I would find something nice under the tree thanks to those stamps.
