Born the fourth of five children to a large family that I don't get to see as much as I should. I am: A daughter. A sister. A registered voter. A Gemini. A keeper of promises and secrets. A person in possession of an interesting sense of humor. A spur of the moment optimist who searches for silver linings and middle ground. A city girl at heart. A country girl in the soul. An avid adventurer of daily challenges. An earnest dilettante. A good friend.
