I thought I'd be taller by now! Not that it's kept me from being successful - I'm a business owner, national speaker, award-winning author, happy wife and mother - I just thought that I'd grow up to be tall, willowy, blonde and gorgeous. But, Heidi Klum got that job! So, I continue to write, my feet don't touch the floor, and I've come to peace with 5'3" and watching Heidi Klum on Project Runway
Background
Information
I grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, eating crabs, oysters, scallops - all things that made me happy as a clam. Only as an adult, did I get a full-blown allergic reaction to shellfish and now can't eat any of it. What a tradgedy. I guess I ate my allotment too early in life.
My life was shaped by growing up on a dairy farm; milking cows day and night. We worked hard and I decided early on in life that hard labor wasn't for me and that I would grow up and find work that required my mind and intellect, not my back. I was also shaped by being #8, out of ten children...somewhat chaotic, but you need a lot of help on a farm.
Major influencers in my life have largely come from books. I remember going to the library as a kid, and being so excited to take home stacks of books that would transport me to other worlds where everything was exotic and exciting.
