I lead a busy, fun life. I'm concerned about the environment and education but try to see the beauty and wonder in the ordinary.

I live in a rural location in Pennsylvania. I started a home business less than a year ago and am still struggling to balance the separation of work at home from home. I do a lot of community volunteer work and am trying to get started in grant writing. I am also working on getting some of my children's stories published.

I am a chef, chauffeur and zookeeper (aka mom) on the verge of a major change. My youngest child is in high school and my oldest will begin college in the fall, so an empty nest is not far away. I am using this transition time to explore what I want to be when I grow up. My family enjoys food, wine and international travel. We live in beautiful Sonoma County and find joy in the scenery, people and cows every day.

I am a college graduate with a professional background. For the last ten years I have been working from home and raising three children.

I'm a WAHM and wife and activist/volunteer. I'm definitely a unique individual, with a very eclectic family.

My friend and partner, Rosemary Lichtman, and I have guided women through personal and family transitions in our psychotherapy practices for over 20 years. In 2000, we partnered to create www.HerMentorCenter.com - providing information for midlife women and publishing a free monthly newsletter, "Stepping Stones." www. NourishingRelationships.blogspot.com is a community where women can find support and information about parents growing older and children growing up.

I am a mom to teenagers. One is in college and one in high school. I have a boy and a girl. I used to be a board certified lactation consultant and a high school English teacher. I have also been a high school administrator. Most of all I am a volunteer. I blog for fun!
