About Me

I am a free spirited person that is moved by love, beauty, and intelligence. With my great sense of humor and tenacity, I have overcome many obstacles, and experienced many successes. I believe failures/set backs are only opportunities to grow, improve, and learn. I am not afraid to simply be myself and strive on a daily basis to live a life with meaning and purpose. I am an idealist and a realist, a spazz and an organizer, a goofball and a scholar. I love to dance and have an occasional drink or two with friends. I love to laugh...at myself, other people, and life in general. I don't take things too seriously--I definately don't sweat the small stuff. That would be a complete waste of my precious time! The only thing I like sugar-coated is peanut M&M's--please...just give it to me straight! I often dream and fantasize of becoming a Sports Psychologist for The New York Yankees! After seeing A-Rod strike out three times yesterday(8/26), and flying out twice, I know that I am the only one who can coach him out of his slump. And, of course, Derek Jeter would be called in for sessions on a daily basis for no apparent reason. Yes...baseball/softball diamonds are this girl's best friend! Going to the beach is a frequent ritual I have to find solace, and sort out the craziness life can bring, as well of course to simply kick-back and get tanned. I'd rather be in charge than follow the lead--maybe because I have yet to encounter someone who can keep up with my pace. I believe athletes and musicians are the coolest people. Having been an athlete for most my life, I have reaped many rewards/benefits from the struggles and triumphs of particpating in something that goes straight to the very core of your essence. I am a self-motivator that also loves to get others fired up too! I am very independant yet not afraid to ask for help. Eventhough I'm a pretty intelligent individual, at times I'm the most blondest brunette you'll ever meet...yes, I have many "blonde moments," and when I'm teaching/coaching at San Pedro High School, I'm "ghetto-fabulous!" I wear many hats but never lose touch of who I am and from whence I came. Last but not least, I share my life with truly the greatest gifts of all...my two amazing children, Nick & Dani(already both in high school---wow!). They are the best kids in the world, and my life makes sense simply because they're in it to share our love, hopes, dreams, fears, and life. In a New York state of mine...lol!!!!!
