Seven things you may or may not know about me:

I was born in Canada but I now live in Southern California. Since the time I could talk, I would tell anybody who’d listen that I was moving to California. According to my spiritual beliefs, happy “memories” from a previous life called me back here.
I graduated from college exactly 20 years after I graduated from high school.
My husband “made” me go to the graduation ceremony. I’m grateful that he did; it was one of the happiest days of my life. I realized that “standing up” for myself is important.
11 days after I graduated from college, my first son was born. At my graduation ceremony, my husband said, “You look like a big black pumpkin!”
I brag to people about my low cholesterol – 127, if you are wondering (the lowest of an excellent score is 125). Yes!!!
A life without chocolate would be no life at all. I pursue moderation but it remains elusive.
On more than one occasion, I have dropped my kids off at my gym childcare and, instead of working out, I’ve just taken a shower and done my hair. So peaceful.

Drumroll, please. My nominees for this award:
