ABOUT ME

A friend once said I am like a velvet crowbar.

I was almost offended, but it’s a pretty honest assessment.

You see, I meditate daily and I also swear too much.

I cry easily, but I always pick action over chick flicks. I am typically generous, unless you are unkind or disrespectful, or just totally full of shit. Then, watch out.

This is who I am and how I work.

Good listening meets straight talking. Tough questions layered with juicy creative. A mildly neurotic balance of dreaming and doing.

I’ve been copywriting and consulting for about 15 years, but a passion for communication is part of my DNA.

I think the world is a happier, more interesting place when we all show up and say what we mean. That is unless one of us is in a bad mood or being a jerk. Then I think we should take a nap.

But what about you? What floats your boat? What keeps you up at night?

I don’t think there is such thing as “quirky“ people.

To quirk is to be human. In which case, more is more.


So then, a little more about me:

HAPPY PLACE

at the beach

UNHAPPY PLACE

in the water

PASSIONATE ABOUT

planet, good writing, beeswax candles, dogs, rocks, shoes

PEEVES

air freshener, small talk, bad lighting

TRUTH

I am a tried-and-true introvert. So it’s not that I’m shy or don’t like people, they just make me a little sleepy in large doses.

TURNING POINT

I am what you could call (although you probably shouldn’t) an “old” mom. We adopted our daughter after a 10-year, ahem, journey. She is the very best and most exhausting game-changer to date.

I also dabble in poetry.
