I'm never thrilled to fill out these "About Me"'s. I had a colorful childhood. My Hispanic and Catholic heritage provides the fertile grown from which I return to when I need to reassess. I'm an honest person – the truth doesn't have a side. My drive to nurture and desire for belonging is often misconstrued. My heart is more fragile in the hands of others with battle wounds and who are not quick to trust. My strong opinions can unintentionally come across as judging. Hey, I'm a work in progress. Aren't we all?
