Gender	Female
Occupation	mommy/poet
Location	the Oregon Coast
Introduction	I am mommy to three adorable and inappropriately headstrong children...wife to a wonderful man ...an artist at heart.
Interests	Books, art, poetry, photography, traveling, cooking, baking, antiques/vintage, spending time with my kids, and trying to live life with an open palm in order to reach a higher place...."The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle." --Anais Nin
Favorite movies	I love old movies...I need to start exploring them again. Two of my favorites are Roman Holiday and Some like it Hot (especially because I have special memories of watching those with my husband). Actors were so much classier back then, and I think the movies they made reflect that in quality. As for modern-day favorites, I like dramas and quirky films like Amelie, 25th Hour, and Wit
Favorite music	Alicia Keys, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, The White Stripes, Staind, and jazz and classical in general
Favorite books	A Gracious Plenty by Shari Reynolds, Van Gogh's Bad Cafe by Fredric Tutin, Why I Wake Early by Mary Oliver, Jelly Roll by Kevin Young.

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

The statue would be made out of chocolate, and it would commemorate the millionth piece of chocolate I've eaten (mmmm).
