Location Cincinnati, United States
Introduction I’m a Christ follower. I wear a pink bracelet that says survivor. I think cancer is a bitch. Been there. Done that. Had to buy a new t-shirt. But... I also think God is good. He's been good to me. I am writing a book: Shaken, Not Stirred... a chemo cocktail, about the cancer chapter in my life. I am an INFP. My hub is an INTP (also Buzz Light-year by day.) We have three ridiculous amazing kids who wake up and make me feel blessed. We call them "the Redheads". One little redbird has already flown the nest to UC. My boys, M&M, as I like to call them, graduated in May. I "graduated" too! And retired, after 16 yrs. of homeschooling. Matt is off to UC. Mikey is off to Germany and beyond with YWAM. My Rocinante is a silver mini cooper with a black racing stripe. I love my fam, Vineyard Cincy, writing, red wine, black coffee, good books, cooking, the smells of my hub's pipe and freshly cut grass, star-gazing (clouds and sunsets too), peanut butter and chocolate, Shakespeare plays, long walks, long talks, playing Scrabble and tennis, popcorn and a movie, traveling, following my Redheads following their dreams.... I don't like anything besmirching my peanut butter.
Interests Writing. Following my kids following their dreams. Vineyard Cincinnati. Traveling. Playing tennis. Going to movies. Cooking. Long Walks.
