THAT THEY CAN'T ACHIEVE THE GOALS & STATUS OF A MAN, SO SOMETIMES AREN'T

I'M INSPIRED BY WOMEN WHO THROUGH ADVERSITY RISE UP & ACCOMPLISH & FULLFILL
THEIR DREAMS & ASPIRATIONS & NEVER GIVE UP ON THEIR GOALS.

I ENJOY LIVING LIFE, TAKING TIME TO ENJOY THE SMALL THINGS, WHETHER IT BE
WALKING IN THE GARDEN & WATCHING A BEE OR ON THE HUNT FOR THAT TREASURE AT FLEA
MARKETS & TAG SALES. I ENJOY CREATING, WRITING, READING, GARDENING,YOGA, ANTIQUEING & MAKING PEOPLE SMILE WITH MY CRAZINESS :)

YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO SPEND TIME:

TOUGH ONE.....I HAVE A VINTAGE CAMPER, THAT I GLAMMED UP (GLAMPER), I GO THERE
TO "CHILL" & READ & TRY TO BLOCK OUT ALL THE WORK I HAVE TO DO AT HOME. I MAKE
SEVERAL TRIPS A YEAR TO CONNECTICUT FOR "TREASURES" & I TRY TO ESCAPE TO MY
STUDIO IN THE BACKYARD TO WRITE, WHEN IT'S NOT FILLED WITH PROJECTS.

WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE A WOMAN:

WHEN I KNOW I HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO PEOPLES LIVES, WHETHER IT BE FROM MY
CREATIONS, SEEING THE LOOKS ON PEOPLES FACES WHEN THEY PURCHASE SOMETHING I MADE
OR WHETHER IT BE FROM MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE I HAVE PASSED ON TO THEM OR JUST BEING A
SHOULDER FOR SOMEONE TO LEAN ON, BASICALLY KNOWING THAT I HELPED SOMEONE.
