The Past

Four score and seven years ago….oh wait, I think someone used that. Well a few years ago - almost ten now - I stumbled on this gem called Costa Rica. I flew here with a husband, three dogs, and a cat. At last count, I have two guinea pigs and two kids. The rest is, as they say, history. Funny how things work. I’ve run my own business, taught, produced radio documentaries, dabble in film, and now I’m following my destiny, which I tend to loose in the mail occasionally. If you find it, could you email me?

The Present

So what’s it all about Alfie? Charlie? And Sophie? I think the secret to life is…well….I’m pretty sure it’s about you and me, and this moment. I’m quite serious about this. I’m so grateful that you take the time to click over to my site, that I want to provide you with a moment you can take away something. Something funny…something touching…I don’t know, something ludicrous that might bubble around and spread like a germ of joy. As you may have read on MotherJungle, my son has Down Syndrome, and it is an “extra:” extra chromosomes, extra help, extra energy, and this site is here to give to that little guy a life. So your time pays our way. Thank you. I am grateful and hope you’ll stop by again.

The Future

Resumes are almost useless in my line of work, so I’ve decided to rewrite what it means to be writer, mother, human. Would you hire me?

I’m quite sure of great things to come, just watch and see.
