I'm a 52 yr old marketing professional.  Divorced, no children (I got the cat). Am healthy and blessed; with a warm bed to sleep in and a pantry full of food.  Gregarious; well-traveled and well-read; intelligent and warm of heart.  Very giving and caring.  Loving this website!

my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Life propelled me.  Sometimes a good wind, sometimes not.  But I'm here, alive and kicking!

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

Life is even MORE precious.  Ten years ago, I thought 52 was old.  The term "senior citizen" belonged to old Mrs. Selby from next door.  Now, I'm old Mrs. Selby! 

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I'd like to be in a healthy relationship; a good career; possibly my own business...with a better martini shaker!

a postcard to my younger self

Stay in school! Cut the losers and cut your losses.  Travel abroad; learn a second and third language.  Wear more thongs!!

my role models

My sister, my best friend, who fought the fight of her life against breast cancer and lost - - but who taught me about patience, grace and dignity no matter what you're facing or where you are in life.
