More of my Story:

I live with my husband Rich and our three dogs (J.D., Doc, and Trevor) in beautiful Trabuco Canyon, California. I enjoy serving at my church, Trabuco Canyon Community Church, gardening, cooking, boating, and most of all, spending time with our children and grandchildren. I’ve lived my entire life in southern California, except for a year spent in French Polynesia as I conducted research for my dissertation. I don’t understand boredom and I’m passionate about words, their power, their beauty, and their care and feeding.
