I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a city girl with a country heart. I loved my life in Chicago until I didn't. Eventually, I settled in Tulsa and I've been calling it "Home" for over 10 yrs. I reserve big cities for vacations and would prefer a weekend in the woods any day.I'm curious, a searcher, a thinker, and an optimist. I honor all things living and try to see the best in people, despite their glaring flaws. We're all a mixed bag and need good people to reflect the best in ourselves. It's all too easy to forget.... I'm a fun-loving person. Pure at heart, quite simple, actually. There are too many good things in life to get caught up in the haze of negativity. Be careful what you focus on. I'm re-re-RE-making myself at 37.... With enough experience under my belt, it's all finally kinda making sense, and the next turn is clear.
