I am newly unemployed, (for the first time since I was 15!) and I am exploring the creative side of me. I am hoping to get some online work so I can stay at home and work on my writing and other projects that I never had time to do while in the 9-5 world. I have some things that I have written (poetry, erotica and such) that I want to start submitting for magazine publication. I also hope to go back to school to work on a degree of some sort..maybe IT related, or not. I have not really decided yet.

I have 2 wonderful daughters who keep me very busy and generally perplexed most of the time. It is amazing to watch them grow into beautiful, independent young women. I am still trying to get over the fact that my "babies" are a pre-teen and a teenager (11 & 13). Tempus fugit!!

I recently traveled to beautiful Sao Paulo state in Brasil to meet the love of my life. (yes,I took that picture on my profile!!) It was a wonderful experience! It was life changing for me. I have met the man that I want to spend the rest of my life with!! Whew! We spent 2 years (as of 3/20/07) talking online, wanting to be together...and from the first moment I saw him, touched him, kissed him..I knew it was right. I can't explain it, really. This was the most beautiful experience I have ever had. I hope to have him come here, or me go there..and eventually we will write a book about our experience. (that is the long term goal, anyway!). : ) « less
