69 going on 20. I reject what I see in the mirror! Growing old is inevitable; growing up is optional.

Stay young at heart, laugh often, love well. Never stop learning. I am currently a student at Twin Tigers Academy of Self-Defense in Brentwood, CA, and have made it to the rank of purple belt.

I've been a "Jill-of-all-trades" most of my life. I love trying out new things, especially crafts. I have experimented with everything from candle-making to woodworking, and plenty in between.

Ceramics and woodworking are my particular favorites, with jewelry making right up there. Photography is also a passion, and I grew up as a 'grease monkey' to my dad...so auto mechanics do not intimidate me.
