I am currently in the process of adopting as a single woman, and my future child may never have a Daddy.  I haven't completely ruled out the possibility of getting married someday in the future - I have an aunt who got married for the very first time in her early sixties, so I know it can happen - but it's just not super high on my priority list at the moment.  Read more >

About Me: 
I am inventing myself after 40 - adopting a child from Ethiopia as a single mom, changing careers to work as a mediator, and exploring my creative side through writing and photography.  Something about turning 40 lit a fire under me, and gave me the courage to create a life worth living.
