Born and raised in Providence/Cranston RI, now living in Virginia Beach, VA for the last 26 years, less 3 spent away in Findlay OH and East Meadow NY. Currently divorced since December, 1999 after 16 years of marriage/14 together, with 2 adult daughters. They are my greatest joy and in general, my greatest accomplishment.(See my Becca-she's .becka.- below and Kara!)As I was growing up, I never had a clue what direction I wanted my life to take, always changing my mind. Sorry, I haven't changed any! Originally decided on a career in Chemistry. Loved the subject, but not a good choice for a female in 1980. Dropped it to safely conceive and then raise my daughters. One of the best decisions in my life, hands down. Don't know if they would agree or not, but hope they would. For all of you who knew me 'back when', you'll probably be surprised to learn that I converted to Christianity in 1993. If choosing my kids over work was decision 1B, that was decision 1A. So now I am a practicing Catholic. Has brought me more peace and contentment than I could ever have imagined possible. Thanks Paul, thanks Peggy, thanks and blessings to all of you who prayed for me to see the Light! Thanks too, to all the special people who've contributed to making the journey better for me. Hopefully I contribute to making it better for you, too.
