About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life today, to look to next week and month, to set goals for next year and to dream the dream for the future. I believe we must visualize in order to make things happen, so my mission is to dream and do!

ABOUT ME

I am married to the most amazing man from Argentina, but since he still works towards retirement, we live a day to day life in an environment of calmness in the daytime, bonfires at dusk and stars to say goodnight to.... We travel as much as possible and plan to do more asap.... Les retires in just under two years now, so we look to more concrete plans; mostly in Uruguay and Baja as our future home bases. We plan to travel through Europe for the first year and then we'll just see.

PHILOSOPHY

Right is right and wrong is wrong. Our family says it and lives it every day. The standards have not changed, simply too many choose to lower the bar in any situation, be it a career, or committments. We surround ourselves with only people who are positive, kind hearted and keep trying to live up to their own potential. We laugh everyday at life and what it brings to us!

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to name...love to read, listen to almost all music and what would we do without the movies? Have to list just one book though....Linda Ellerbee's 'Take Big Bites' adventures around the world and across the table.... It combinds our love of travel with gourmet cooking.... swear it was written just for us!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The birth of my children and how amazing raising them has been! Now it's time for us to play....

Teach, Learn, Share

I am excellent at setting boundries with others and have helped many friends and family learn to set them for themselves. I am able to pinpoint ways that people can help their relationships. Maybe family counseling is next for me..... Although I am considered a fabulous cook, I would love to learn to cook recipes from other countries..... India, Asia and more.
