adoptedwriter

I am non-stop as a teacher, tutor, group exercise instructor, and school aide. I’m a wife, (34 years in October), mom of two daughters and caring pet mom to four kitties. I’m an author of two memoir books about being adopted. I’m a daughter to my 88-year-old mother and a sister to seven siblings between birth and adoption. I teach Zumba (TM) three days a week, love working in my garden, travel, reading, and creative writing. I describe myself as “non-stop” because this is the way I live every day. I have very little downtime. Usually, I don’t mind the hustle and bustle. It keeps me engaged, generating money, plus I’m active physically and mentally. It’s my choice to live this way. I will not give any of it up.

I love dinner out on Friday nights with my sisters or my friends. (Clinks margarita glasses with you) I love spending time with my adult daughters because being a mom never ends. I bundle up and bunker down during winter and patiently wait for more daylight and warmer days to return. During summer I lavish in light and warmth, like a tropical plant. I love all sorts of comedy and can embrace both the humorous and pride-filled parts of my life. Sometimes I cuss, ( not at work😊). I can’t read a note of music and I hate math, ( except for money💰) and love learning about history, art, foreign languages and cultures.

If you’re a homeless or hurt animal, I will heal you, (if I can), and give you a home forever. If you’re a child, I will teach you anything and give you love, guidance, and opportunities. If you’re a new neighbor, I’ll introduce you around and welcome your kids and dogs in my yard. If you can help me with technology, I’ll be forever grateful for your services. If you’re my colleague I will respect you and try to learn from your experience. If you’re my medical professional, I will cooperate, be in awe of what you know and your ability to explain and problem solve. If situations look bleak, I will not quit or give up. If you’re a friend to me, I will always be a friend to you.

I am non-stop, and I never give up.
