There's a new buzz in me to create and engage. I'm missing what was - my folks, and my life in Chicago, but there's also a freedom now, and my midwestern sensibilities are finding their footing in sun spoiled, Southern California. I write about this unfamiliar but exciting midlife-awakening buzz, how I'm turning my once 'stuck' into 'movement’, life lessons, and just getting on with it all. My day job - creating change for animals - is my dream job - so you'll get some animal stories here, too.
