Profile

I am a midwife's wife, an adoring mother to our son (born 9/9/10) and to our daughter (born 11/29/16), a loving daughter, a loyal friend, a nature lover, a fitness enthusiast, a traveler, an optimist, etc. I see life as vibrant, rich, and complex and I want to experience ALL OF IT with an open heart and balanced mind. I write about joy; I write about the positive; I write about gratitude; I write about love; I write about wellness; I write about family!

I earned my doctoral degree in diversity studies. In the work world, I am an administrator of a university and have worked in higher education for 20 years. I'm from the deep south, a Cajun, and I adore all things southern. I lived 10 years of my early adult life on the beautiful beaches of the Gulf Coast in Florida, and now I call Nevada home-sweet-home. The landscape of the West is spectacular, so my family and I spend a lot of time traveling, hiking, and exploring all of the beautiful spots in this beautiful part of the country. I am an enthusiastic running and I have ventured out into the world of half marathons.

I am relatively easy-going, but from time to time, I like to say that my Cajun spices get to boilin' --- you get the point! Ok, I am a Gemini...

I collect hoyas and white turquoise. I routinely try out new things often that are in the name of hobbies and wellness. I put a lot of LIVIN' into life...

I have been on LiveJournal for a decade, but friends convinced me to join in on the fun here, so let's connect!
