Bio

I love to learn things, break things down and make them easy for others to learn. I’ve got an MS Ed and have worked in education, translation, tech sales, international trade, and now am setting up my own shop. I like volunteering with .org, taking care of family and friends, and creating with textiles and with wood. Someday soon I’m going to start accordion lessons. Maybe I’ll be a polka band/zydeco muscician when I grow up?

WordPress Origin Story

I started with a little blog, warmsunkiss, where my sweetheart and I wrote to each other when he was deployed to Iraq and later, when he was back home on his farm in Door County, Wisconsin. Halfway around the world or an hour away, we liked writing to each other.

Although he passed away about a year and a half after his last deployment and I took down the blog, my curiosity about WordPress was clinched and I have been using it and been part of the community in one way or another since then.
