Hello!  My next life stage is watching as my nest empties, and I am ready to start growing!  I am a designer, wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend who loves to be outdoors, dig in the dirt, scribble out thoughts and stories on paper, catch a good thunderstorm, take my pup on a hike (sun, wind, rain, or blizzard), and learn new things.  Whew!  So many things still to do, including flops, stumbles, and flat out face plants I am sure.  If you’re interested in following along I welcome you  So let’s get growing!
