​​​​As the youngest of 4 girls, who grew up and had 4 boys, I spent a great deal of my adult life confused and saying things like, "don't put lunchmeat on your face."I fought hard not to normalize things that I couldn't understand - like having to enter the bathroom the same way you would a minefield (but still somehow always falling victim to the boys' poor aim), the adrenaline rush of plunging that unexpected extra inch onto the cold porcelain because the seat was left up again, and having a permanent pile of laundry labeled "too dirty to wash." But I lost all of those battles, eventually gave in, and only got involved if there was blood or fire. In the process, I got a lot happier - and so did everyone around me.Now, nearing 40 years of marriage and on the other side of that blessed chaos, I have more time to reflect on all that I've experienced and learned.Over the years I found that I love to create, write, and enhance or maximize just about everything, including physical spaces. My co-workers dubbed me "The Kiminizer" as they handed me their ordinary projects of all kinds, and I made them extraordinary. I'm convinced that's part of my purpose.I currently use my skills to represent FlexScreen - the Shark Tank company that is revolutionizing the window industry - and its CEO, Joe Altieri, as Communications Director. I've also taken to blogging where I share personal stories - some that uplift, some that cause reflection, and some that simply entertain. (I am a youngest child, after all!)Love is what motivates me, and I seek to add more of it to this world.
