Life has a way of throwing us a curve ball. From time to time my life has taken a very different path when I didn’t see the curve ball coming at me.

1. When I graduated from high school my career goal was to be a dancer with the Radio City Rockettes. At the audition, I was eliminated because dancers must be a minimum of 5′5″ and I am only 5′4″ (and shrinking!)

2. I wish I had more time to trace my family’s European ancestry. With grandparents from Italy, Wales and Germany the journey would be an adventure.

3. I was one of four people (out of 28) kicked out of Catholic School in the 8th Grade. Years later the nun who kicked me out left the Church and married the assistant pastor and lived in the same apartment building. Guess who really had the rebellious attitude!

4. I served as an elected Township Trustee following a recall. This is politics at its worst. Happy to help my community but it took a toll on my family.

5. I’m not only a marketing and advertising junkie, I’m also a trend follower. I’ve even spotted a few trends in my time for fun and profit!

These five facts are part of what shapes who I am today. Through adversity I’ve learned to stand up for what I believe in – even if it challenges the status quo. Sometimes words have consequences; other times accolades. I’ve been the receiver of both and blessed because of it.
