I am a fairly introverted person living pretty quietly (that's why I have time for pen pals!) I love my work as an educator, especially considering that part of my work includes teaching writing to young students. I enjoy running (I really do, although it's not always easy to get out there and do it) and recently discovered that I like Pilates better than yoga (this was unexpected, but welcome.) Reading books is a way I spend my time. Reading the news is even more of a way I spend my time (yikes.) My son is still in high school, and it's safe to say he's my greatest joy and interest!
