About Me

I was born and raised in Arizona. Did a bit of traveling with my husband when he was in the Air Force - Louisiana, Japan, California. I speak just enough Japanese and Spanish to confuse myself - but not enough to hold any kind of conversation in either language. My Berlitz French CDs are gathering dust on my bookshelf, but I really do want to learn French. I have two daughters who are incredibly artistic and wonderful in very different ways. I am on a quest for knowledge and physical well-being. Some days I am more successful in this quest than others. I would love to travel the world. I love living in the desert, but sandy beaches and oceans beckon my soul. I work for some incredible musicians. Check them out at www.BROTHERmusic.com and www.myspace.com/brothermusic .

The rest, of course, is best shared over some great Mexican food and strawberry margaritas.
