A typical day in my life includes…
writing and editing stories, designing the next edition of Lemonade Legend Magazine, and time for meditation and exercise.
I was born…
in Witchita, KS.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
so many things! Walks in the desert are amazing, November through April.
I’m listening to…
my heart. I’ve lived most of my life listening to my head. Now I’m listening to my heart.
My family…
they are uniquely imperfect, and that’s what I love about them.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Jesus Christ.
One thing I cannot live without…
morning coffee.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a writer, that’s always been my dream. There was a time when I wanted to be a dancer. I was in awe of Isadora Duncan.
I’m inspired by…
the character Scarlett O’Hara. I love her courage and fearless attitude. She was an early role model for me. I’ve read all 862 pages of Gone With the Wind probably a dozen times.
The one person who motivates me is…
my husband, he is supportive more then motivating but because he knows intimately my successes and failures, I feel accountable and that’s motivating.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
more people would practice kindness, patience, and forgiveness.
The perfect day would be…
living at a leisurely pace, still productive but without the constant urgency.
My first job was…
driving a golf cart at a local gold course loaded with cold beer and sodas to sell to golfers on the course. Best job ever!
My favorite escape…
I have all my wedding songs in one place. I have can close my eyes and listen to these songs and escape in my mind to the most glorious places.
My life…
is more amazing than I ever thought it would be.
I’m currently working on…
The Lemonade Stand Book #2.
Always…
look for the good, and the positive.
Never…
regret.
Favorite Quote…
“And know that I am with you always, yes, to the end of time.” – Jesus Christ
Biggest Dream…
honestly, I’m living it. Once the revenue kicks in I will be over the moon!
My Pet Peeve(s)…
incompetence. People make mistakes and that’s fine. Flat out incompetence makes me crazy.
