Remember when we used to do weekly introduction posts on here? Definitely haven’t done one of those in a while. Here’s a “5 things you may not know about me” for old-time’s sake:
1. Unfortunately I do talk to animals of all kinds. Dogs and cats of course but also bees, butterflies, spiders, deer, bunnies, and birds. If you see me in conversation and there is not a human in sight, check for the nearest animal.
2. My favorite scents also happen to be my favorite flavors - lemon, mint, rosemary, basil, lavender. Pretty much anything citrusy or botanical.
3. I am a math teacher turned education researcher who unexpectedly discovered flowers. I never imagined myself in an artistic vocation while slinging formulas and spreadsheets during college. Embrace the curves of life…
4. My ideal getaway involves mountains and/or a body of freshwater. Preferably with a running trail and a bookstore nearby. And very few people.🙃
5. I am a wife to the most patient man in the world and a mom to 2 teenage boys, 2 dogs, and 1 kitty cat. My greatest joy is sharing life with them.
I’m not on social media as much as I used to be, but I’m always grateful for the connections here.✨
