I was born in San Antonio, Texas, into a military family. After living in Europe most of my childhood, we moved back to San Antonio where my father retired. I married early and divorced early. I worked my way through college soon after. With my degree in Spanish, I have worked as a college instructor, a High School teacher, a tutor in Spanish and writing. In order to better support my family while my second husband was dying of cancer, I took a position in retail management. I now work in marketing for my fiancee's company. I have lived and studied abroad, but I consider myself a true Texan. San Antonio is in my blood. While some would call me a liberal where politics are concerned, I choose to call myself moderate. I realize there are two arguments in any debate, and each will undoubtedly have valid points. I love a good glass of wine, good literature, doing anything with my family, and great, solid, thought provoking debate.   I write what I feel, what I experience.  I write for my mother and my aunt who have both been gone for what seems forever.    

My achievements - survival and getting to a place in my life where there is peace and love
