In my downtime, the kitchen calls to me. As a foodie—all recipes from others and my oodles of cookbooks are considered a starting point, then I add my unique twists. The results—delicious.
Outdoor deck living and entertaining, dirt and planting, and sunrises are my core staples. When spring arrives, garden gloves come out and bulbs and flowers promise a carpet of color until fall warns that winter is around the corner. The breakaway from winter opens my large deck that becomes the gathering spot for friends and clients. A perfect setting for creativity, friends, and yes, work.
My belief:it’s food, words, and people that make the world go round. My home has and is a gathering spot for impromptu author gatherings as well as formal ones—something that is year-round for me.
I’m creative. What I do, what I work at, what I play with, what I surround myself with, what I create in the kitchen, and those I welcome to be with me are who I am.
