I have been putting this off but it's my turn I guess. Thank you fasteddie for this wonderful forum!


I live in San Diego, California with my husband of 20 years, a dentist, and 3 of my four children. My oldest daughter, Rebecca is 18 and attending her first year of college at Brooks Institute of Photography. She has a 9 month old yorkie named Buddha and is the reason I have my 9 month old Hefner. She asked for a yorkie for XMAS and had wanted one all my life so I got two!

My second daughter, Amy is 17 and she has Princess Chai who is a gold and white yorkie and is 6 months old. My son is Joss and he is a surfer and a water polo player and my youngest is Madison who is 13! We have a 4 yr old female westie named Billie and a 3 year old standard poodle named Jet as well as a 2 year old persian cat named Paris.

I am an attorney by profession and I used to be a partner in a general civil litigation firm up in Northern California where I practiced family law, real estate, estate planning and entertainment law. My kids worked in the "industry" and I was a talent agent when they were younger so that is why the entertainment law. We spent a lot of time in San Francisco on jobs. Yes, I am a "stage mom".

In 1999, before my oldest started high school, we decided to sell everything, take a sailing trip sabbatical and relocate to San Diego where most of my husband's family live. My family was a little upset as they are all in and around Sacrmento, but we see them a lot since it is only an hour and 20 minute flight! We are having a family reunion over July 4th at Bear River valley to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary!

I now manage our two dental offices and dote on my kids, my husband and my furbabies. I live 10 minutes from the ocean and I have a beautiful view from my new house.

I am a Board member in the Poway Chapter of the National Charity League which is a mother/daughter philanthropic organization where the girls and moms do community service work. I was the chair of our annual Holiday Home Tour this past Christmas and I am proud o say that we raised $25,000 that was donated to our local library and our senior center's Meals on Wheels program. I am now the liason for the San Diego Youth and Communty Services which renders asssistance to homeless teens in our community. It is rewarding work and it is something meaningful my girls and I do together. We do work for the Humane Society, MADD, The American Cancer Society, our local Family Violence Center, Special Olympics, Habitat for Humanity as well as many more.

I am blessed with great health and I try to exercise regularly and eat well but if anyone wants to start a YT Weight loss challenge, I will be the first to sign up. I love good food and my husband is a great cook!!

Okya, I've bored you enough so I will leave you with my motto,

Live with passion, Laugh everyday and love like you've never been hurt!!!
