I am very down to earth and cherish my family, my friendships, and people in general! I can always find the positive in any situation no matter how dire it may seem through my sense of humor and positive outlook on life ! I live life one moment at a time one day at a time and believe in dreams ! I have had the opportunity to live throughout the United States ( grew up in Oregon ) and feel I am very educated about many cultures from first hand experience. For instance I lived on an Indian island in Kake, Alaska at age 16 and worked in a fish cannery . I was also also inducted to the Tlinget tribe as one of their own. I then moved to Silicon Valley-San Francisco ,Ca. for 20 years where I married and started a family. Now I live in Pittsburgh,Pa. and am discovering yet another new way of life ! My sense of style is sporty-casual ,Bohemian, and Professional at work. The last thing I purchased for a friend was a garden sculpture.
