A typical day in my life includes…
Gym, Tan, Titos (just kidding)! I really just write all day and walk my dogs. That’s a second lie. Ok fine, here it is…I check my email and work 24 hours a day in the real estate and mortgage world and moonlight at night as a famous world author. I’m generally exhausted by five and am home and in bed by nine.
I was born…
AZ native but grew up in New York and DC. You can call me a native, I like it.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
360 days of sun a year, no traffic, close to everything Vegas, LA, Mexico, outdoor adventure, bars, food, tons of things to do, big city with small city feel…oh and it is almost impossible to get lost on some inter-loop. Love that the entire city is laid out as a tic-tac-toe board.
I’m listening to…
dare I admit it? I’m a Britney fan B*$&%! #forreal
My family…
is crazier than a can of cashews…but isn’t everybody’s?
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
does this have to be somebody famous? I better think of somebody good.
One thing I cannot live without…
my puppies.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
fireman/author.
I’m inspired by…
everybody in all walks of life; I genuinely love people!
The one person who motivates me is…
Ashlea Nichols at Arizona Foothills!
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
not to be cliche but listen to the Beatles song Imagine. After you listen to them join me and let’s end world hunger and war.
The perfect day would be…
fun in the sun on the beach with friends, family, lots of cocktails and no sharks or stingray bites. I don’t want to get peed on (that is what they say you must do if you get stung by a jelly fish or sting ray. I do have my doubts however).
My first job was…
from hell folding an endless sea of clothes at Benetton. You all must remember the United Colors or am I dating myself?
My favorite escape…
anything outdoors, anything in nature my eyes are greenish blue and look amazing against the backdrop.
My life…
FML, its wild, perfect, missing something, and beautifully chaotic. But isn’t everyone’s? I know I’m exactly where I should be.
I’m currently working on…
database, database, database I know its not glamorous but its the truth.
Always…
think before you speak, because you’re the master of the words left unspoken but once spoken, you become the slave.
Never…
worry. I know this is a hard one, but as soon as you accept there will be things out of your control in life, the happier you will be.
Favorite Quote…
“The greatest risk is not taking one”
“Seize the moment! Think of those woman on the titanic who waved off the dessert cart. ”
“Those who live within there means lack imagination.” -Oscar Wilde
Biggest Dream…
peace, love and happiness or to be the next reality tv sensation; aka Mirror ball dance champion on Dancing with the Stars with the killer body that goes with it. Until then I will settle for love and happiness.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
when I hear the word “no”, flakes, hypocrites, cruelty to animals or anyone for that matter. Unwillingness to live in the moment.
As for that dinner date? God.
