Blog
Welcome to my blog where I share life with you. This is my art; I write to share my thoughts and experiences with others. Through sharing my experiences, I seek to connect with others. Life is a journey, let’s walk through it together.
I share with you my “me moments” which I call my MeMo’s.
You might be thinking memo, like memorandum. Sort of. Memos are more of a brief communication or report, typically in an office. I have never been known to be brief in thought or speech. My MeMo will be a “Me Moment,” shortened to MeMo.
My passions, in no particular order, include flying, teaching, mentoring, writing, being an Autism Advocate, organizing, cooking, art, music, connecting with others, and experiencing the world through travel.

Tetris & Organization
As a child, one of my favorite Nintendo games was Tetris. I enjoyed the challenge of fitting the pieces together as they descended from the top of the screen. I have continued this skill, well into adulthood without realizing it. When we had our first kiddo, my spouse traveled a lot for work. I did…
A Matter of Perspective
Have you ever taken a hike, climbed a mountain, gone upstairs to look out a window, or even a flight and observed the view outside your window? It never ceases to amaze me how the view can change based on one’s perspective. My life motto: Above the clouds is sunshine, it’s all a matter of…
Petroglyphs Tell a Story
A petroglyph is defined as a carving or inscription on a rock. (Merriam Webster Dictionary) Recently, my family and I have had the opportunity to see petroglyphs in different locations. As we climbed through rocks, walking through the sandy earth to view the next markings, I thought to myself: If I were going to take…
