<br><strong> I GREW UP ON A STEADY DIET OF ADVENTURE BOTH REAL AND IMAGINED. IT WAS NEVER QUITE ENOUGH. SO WHAT IS A GIRL TO DO? THE ANSWER: LIVE IN A FANTASY WORLD.</strong><br><strong> <br> WHETHER IT BE IN ART OR WRITING, I AM ALWAYS TRYING TO LIVE MULTIPLE LIVES AT ONCE. YOU CAN USUALLY FIND ME LOST IN A MAZE OF THOUGHTS, OCCASIONALLY EMERGING FOR MY FULL-TIME JOB AS A NANNY AND THE COMMON DISTRACTIONS OF BEING A HOUSEWIFE, CHURCH MEMBER, AND MAMA'S GIRL.</strong><br><strong> <br>I LIVE IN SUNNY FLORIDA WHERE I NEVER VISIT THE BEACH AND AVOID GOING OUT OF DOORS IN SUMMER. I AM AT MY BEST HUDDLING IN THE AIR CONDITIONING WITH MY GENIUS OF A HUSBAND, TWO TOO MANY CATS, AND GALLONS UPON GALLONS OF FISH TANKS WHILE I SPEND HOURS BEING DISTRACTED INSTEAD OF BEING CREATIVE.</strong>
