About Me
Hi, and a belated thank you to those of you who have reached out to welcome me here! I'm an avid reader, fitness nut; wife and mom. Before I was all of that, I was an Army brat - my dad was a career soldier (West Point, Class of Jan, '43) and because we lived in so many places while I was growing up, one of my handy talents is counting to four in Turkish and yelling out: "Throw out your trash!" (also in Turkish); we lived in Izmir, Turkey for two years. Now that I'm all grown up, I live with my family in the gorgeous Finger Lakes region of New York state; I'm a veteran of the direct sale/network marketing industry: signed up with my first company in 1998 and am about to launch my first, solo-preneur online business. My current mantra is: Life's too short to hesitate.
