Biography

I am a New York City native, although my folks fled the city and raised us a block form the ocean on the NJ shore. As an adult I have lived in NYC, Boston, Chicago and now Washington, DC.

I spent the 1970’s and early 80’s entrenched in every leftist progressive movement that passed through middle America. Anti-war, ZPG, Abortion Rights, Feminism, Gay Rights. You name it, I would have written the agenda.

Now I am a bourgouise middle aged woman, with a wife, a mortgage, two cats (and a yard). Ah, the simple joys of (Canadian) married-hood.

I have spent my career in the non-profit sector, as a teacher, social worker and now as a medical meeting planner. In my “real life” I am a pastry chef with a life long love of classical music and jazz.

Comments:

Yes, I agree with you but this poor woman was not doing what made her feel more comfortable. I guess it took the small push or advice from Dr. Phil and The Doctors to get her to realize that she needed to do what would make her comfortable.
Hugs,
Joyce
