I am here for Friends

About Me

Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, CA - April 2008



Backcountry skiing in Nelson, BC - Feb 2008
Top of the mountain!!!
I'm Susan go-lightly! When there is something that hits close to my heart, I will speak up. I have the heart of an extrovert and the soul of an introvert.
I love spending time with my peeps! I love animals. I have a big heart and believe we are all created equal. I think I'm funny (ok, I am), so just try to laugh with me, at me, NO with me (damnit)! There are three things I do everyday: laugh, dance (in the car, at the gym or at work) and go to the beach! "
I beat to my own drum even though I'm a white girl and have no rhythm. Like I said, just laugh with me! I am not perfect and believe life is a work in progress. Just have fun!

Out of bounds

As the holidays approach, I'm realizing how grateful I am for the wealth of friends in my life. I'm not talking about quantity, but quality. Over the past few months, I have formed some close family-l...

beauty and the geek...

We all just want to be accepted in society. So, why do we stereotype? Why do we exclude people? Why do we seek approval from others? Why is rejection so painful? How do we handle it?   Let's pain...

Peers can have a positive influence on each other. And sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. I like when a peer is excited about a new favorite book, and now everyone's reading it. An...

If you could have superhero powers, what would it be? Would you serve good without expectation of reward? Or do evil without being caught? Would you keep your identity secret?    I would wan...

In Buddhist countries, palm reading is very popular. I did not have my palm read, but came across my horoscope which I thought was very appropriate. Is it a crock of bull? Or just events that are infl...
