About
I channel Dorothea Lang for art and beauty for the sake of social justice and political reform and Martha Stewart for art and beauty for the sake of “good things.â€Â Throw in a little Julia Child and now you have entered the depths of my psyche. “Crazy on a Good Day†is an understatement.
I left small town living in 1996 to “save the worldâ€. I have never looked back. I now live in the booming metropolis of Oklahoma City. I tried to live life as a professional student, studying the humanities and then religion. I think I was interested in the Humanities because life seemed so much more exciting than what I learned in my small town high school. It is!!! I think I studied religion because I have always been a little baffled by the nuances of growing up in the Bible Belt and it seemed so strange. Again, it is!!! I graduated in 2003 and was informed that the point of going to college was to get a job. I had apparently missed the “fine printâ€.
I found my way into Non-Profit running a state wide literacy program. I love, love, loved it!!! I learned so much about people, communities, sustainability, and the importance of literacy. In fact, I think that in this day and age literacy should be one of the basic human rights….let me tell you, it is not. I mastered everything from developing budgets to bailing my college interns out of jail all the while sporting my high heels.
I met Law Man March 8, 1996, a month and six days before I turned 18. We became parents when we found out about our first born on Thanksgiving Day 2004. Adam was born July of 2005. I took off the high heels and put on the baby sling. We were back to work. Six months later I found out about our little guy. Nathan was born December of 2006 and I left the day job and entered into the strange realm of raising two very spirited boys.
I am still trying to “save the world†just on a much more basic level. I want to create a place of peace and joy to raise these amazing children. Where I will go from here?….Read This and Tell Me What it Says!
