About Me

I love this picture of Bojangles and me in Boston.

I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. I was born in the Philippines, raised in Queens, NY, and now live on Long Island. 

As a stay-at-home mom, my life revolved around my kids. Sometimes I was the church photographer, a hopeful gardener, and uninspired housekeeper. But most of the time, I was “just” a mom who was always around when needed. I thought I had more time to come up with my “when the kids grow up, I’m gonna…” plan. But here we are.

What do I do next? Do my days in book publishing and MBA still count? Who can I use for references? I am in transit.

I have to figure out what’s next. I would like to clear up the clutter and hoard that’s accumulated in the last 22 years. I would like to focus on getting healthy.

Will you join me for the ride?
