About Me

I'm a self-taught artist, but I didn't teach myself anything, I have to give God, the Creator of All..All of the credit. I'm also a blessed wife & mama, (the coolest & best mom-so my little ones, who are now taller than I, say... thank you, it's my life's joy to be your mama!) our two beautiful & amazing children; one a very talented tennis player, guitarist, the other a super talented artist, drummer, and photographer they make my heart grow. They are extremely amazing in every way. I'm also blessed to be the wife of Jerome, my pie, my love. HE IS A SUPER VISIONARY CHEF AND ARTIST and TENNIS PLAYER, and the best father and husband on the planet. And to be loved the way he loves me, well...he still takes my breath away after 18 years. LOOK FOR HIS RECIPE BLOG COMING OUT SOON, HE'S BOUND TO ROCK THE FOOD WORLD. He is working on a new restaurant concept with some cool people... He is the LOVE OF MY LIFE, the one and only TRUE LOVE...Life is sweet and good and I'm super blessed and thankful for each and every day. That's the condensed version about me, check my blogs if you need more insight... MySpace Profile Help!

Another BIG interest is FOOD! My hubby and I had a restaurant for two years, it was the coolest place, in Carmel-by-the-Sea, we were the first to put on live reggae and blues shows in town, they had banned live music for 60 years (they thought it would bring freaks to town)and then realized the town was drying up, so they allowed it. We rocked the little village silly. Went out of biz tho, not enough cabbage. Jerome is working on his food site, called Le Chefinier(myspace.com/lechefinier)...Jerome is simply the best. Also, thought some would like to know that my step father was the GREAT MOTIVATOR, INSPIRATOR: Earl Nightingale, visit my mom, author and speaker and wonderfulness: Diana @ www.earlnightingale.com if you don't already know who he was and what he did... "You become what you think about", the original "Secret", that those other guys have dubbed, it is entitled "The Strangest Secret", Radio Hall of Fame, Gold Record, survivor USS Arizona, life changer...CHECK IT.
