| Introduction | I grew up in a big family on a dairy farm in a little town in New York State. My husband and I moved to southern Utah in 2007. Big change, but a good one. There have been so many positives associated with it! I'm a writer and certified personal trainer, corrective exercise specialist, fitness nutrition specialist, and online fitness coach. I started out writing poetry and plays in elementary school. Dabbled in short stories, and eventually wrote a nonfiction book manuscript that I am forever changing. I have written many articles for community newspapers, magazines, newsletters, websites, and blogs, and enjoy it very much. I fell into fitness several years ago. I'd always had a hand in it, taking a fitness class in college, walking outside and on a treadmill, doing some aerobic exercise, etc., but things really picked up when I decided to join a gym. I fell in love with fitness! In 2009, I decided to take things a step further and got certified as a personal trainer. I've had health issues all my life, so what a rush that was! I hope to connect with people with similar interests, share ideas, make new friends. |

In the dream where you show up to school naked, why do you never go swimming?
I don't know how to swim. Maybe that's a sign I should learn!
