About Me
I was born in New York, grew up on Long Island and my family moved to Florida when I was a senior in HS. After Art School I moved back to NY but somehow ended up back in Florida again. I was married for a short time to the wrong person for me. After 18 years of being single I finally smartened up and decided what I needed was someone who was just like me on the inside.....little did I know it was my best friend, we have been together for 8 years and just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary! And talk about hitting the jackpot, he just happened to have 3 of the most wonderful children in the world whom I am now a proud step mom of! I love them so much, I don't think it is possible to love them more had I given birth to them myself! We love to travel and have fun no matter what we do.So, now, about the "REAL ME". I am what most people call unconventional...or weird, take your pick! Although I don't show it on the outside much anymore, my interests and beliefs are not run of the mill! I tend to lean more towards the odd interests and people. I am an artist and a photographer, I love animals all of them except for those scary Palmetto Bugs we get down here in Florida. I am adopted and not only do I have a great family I grew up with, I also have had the pleasure of finding my birth family. Now I know where all my oddities come from! LOL I love to read, I love to learn and I love to travel and see different cultures. I still feel 25. I worked in Corporate America for far too many years and finally with the support of my family I decided to do what makes me happy. I am still a photographer, but I do photography and art on my terms and I am now a Certified Small Animal Massage Therapist! Laugh if you want, but I know how much it helps these wonderful creatures that know nothing but love, they do not hold grudges or do they have ego. I have my own business in Animal Care and I do professional photography on the side. We've traveled all through the US, Canada, Central America and Europe, but my favorite places are Ireland and Block Island.I am usually a very happy person, I love life and everything it has to offer, you just have to reach out and take hold. I love and adore my husband, he is the kindest, most compassionate and the funniest person I know. He makes every day a joy. And the kids.....well, I couldn't ask for more. Oh, except one thing.....HOW THE HECK DID I END UP IN A MINIVAN????? LOL
