I still think of The City as home, although I haven't lived there for years. "I do not have a favorite color, song or movie. "My favorite place to live is wherever I happen to be right now. In 2002 it was Silver City, New Mexico. I lived there for 4 years and you'll see lots of references to Silver City around my site. "In August 2005 I moved to Seattle Washington." "When I visited bookstores to promote my book, the staff would say, "Oh, you're the moving lady!" and that's how I named this website. My new website uses my name and was built after I had gained some experience with coaching, websites and the Internet "Back in 1997, I was offered a job in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and made two major life transitions at once. I bought a house. And two weeks after moving in, I went to the Humane Society of Broward County "just to look" and walked out with Keesha, listed as a keeshond-chow mix. She was my very first dog, after a lifetime as a cat fanatic. She insisted on joining my official website photos. In Fall 2005, just before Halloween, she departed for the great dog park in the sky - crossing the bridge, as they say. She was old: she had cataracts, total hearing loss and arthritis.  I miss her and think about her every day. But I couldn't live without a dog so I got Gracie, who has a totally different look and personality style. See her photos here. "I read voraciously -- murder mysteries, true crime, and lots of nonfiction. I visit art museums whenever I travel and have taken pottery and drawing classes. No talent but lots of enthusiasm. Musical tastes range from George Jones to Mozart with not much in between." Visit my career site and my copywriting sites.
