I'm in my late 20's (oh my) and love to write about anything that makes me smile, cry or think. Some consider me an eternal optimist (I know, it's annoying) but I believe life is what you make of it. And I always make it the best I can.

I've always marched to the beat of my own drum, shopping at thrift stores, buying clearance items and deal hunting. So, I'm not sure I have any formal experience, but living it is worth more sometimes. I started off in the insurance industry as a managing editor for a major online company early in my career, soon progressing (depending on who you ask) to the world of politics at a newspaper. I also drudged my way through a short stint as a marketing manager for Harley-Davidson before becoming disabled by a chronic illness which led me, ironically (or not), into my dream of writing full-time. So, here I am doing what I love and at the same time, in a way I never thought I'd be doing it. But I've found the road less traveled has all the best stuff on it.

A southern California girl (but not the bratty kind), I'm not typical of what you find where I grew up. I switch off between two pairs of shoes (uggs and flip flops), would never buy trendy clothes just because everyone else wears them and drive the car I love, not because it's what is cool (although it does happen to be quite cool). I love to play in the mud when I garden, cook, clean (yes, really) and am one of those people who really does stop to smell the roses while walking down the street.
