An old bio that still holds up today

• I am an artist

• I am a quiet person with a chatty mind

• I am forgetful, so I keep a planner (I get on and off that train)

• I smile easily, even to the mirror

• I have a petite body that is very flexible

• I procrastinate; it's at the top of the list of the things I want to change (I've made improvements in this area)

• I tend to be very contemplative about life

• I will one day live in the country

• I am not athletic, but I will learn to swim, and I will train to be a decent runner (I ran a 5K in March 2026; still working on the swimming)

• I love love love colors

• I don't like to cook, but I cook as healthfully as possible every day

• I am getting to know myself better as I get older
