About

I’m a former journalist who spent her last 5 years on the job covering Women Over 45 — and loving it. But I recently fled the flailing world of newspapers and am writing a book (granted, another questionable industry; but a girl’s gotta trust, right?). My life is in major flux because a daily job has been my focus for so long, not to mention my roommate is selling her house and I don’t know where I’ll live when she soon moves back to Ohio. Does this stuff qualify as good stress or bad stress? Since I’m excited to see what’s around the bend that I can’t yet glimpse, I’m going to call it all good. I’m an optimist, as anyone who knows me will tell you. In other egocentric, blog-like trivia, I’ll mention that I’m originally from Texas (where all my exes live), I adore living in Florida now, have very long hair, am always up for a dare, love dogs, like cats but am allergic, have the best friends on the planet (really, don’t challenge me on this one) and suspect I’ll miss writing for newspapers very much — hence this blog!
