I am a teachable, infinitely curious work-in-progress. I have worked as an ICU nurse (RN), a Director of Marketing for a medical device company and a high school science teacher. My husband and I been married for 42 years and have two adult sons and lots of grand-fur babies. There are 30 + years of journals in my hope chest. They will be burned in a giant bonfire in my backyard some day before I die. I started writing a book when I retired 3 years ago and this conference will be a reality check on whether I'm on to something or not.
