Bio
In the corporate world, I worked as a business reporter for The Oklahoman and in PR for healthcare and telecommunications companies. As a blogger, I aim to capture ordinary life -- in a spirit akin to that of the late Erma Bombeck (1927-1996), a syndicated columnist who wrote about her own life: her days as a suburban housewife. I'm a native of Midwest City, OK, a graduate of Oklahoma State University and a former 6 1/2-year resident of Boston, where I ran three Boston marathons. Since 2000, I've lived in Edmond, OK, where I raised my daughter whose passion is social work. My likes include walking/jogging, friendship and dry red wines. Dislikes: hatred/bigotry, incivility and sweet white wines. My most popular blog to date: Pennies in Heaven; Believing is Seeing, where a girlfriend asked her father before his imminent death to send her a sign when he reached heaven that he was alright. Not long afterward, my friend kept finding several pennies in a row for several days.
