Who am I?  I have been thinking on this today and this is what I have come up with so far:

I am a person who prefers heart shaped rocks to jewelry.  My jewelry of choice consists of one humble wedding ring complete with diamonds as we were graduate students and couldn't afford an engagement ring; one woven strand of misshapen pearls; and silver dangly Norwegian earrings- I am allergic to any other kind.

I love two places: Colorado and Minnesota.  Well, three, really.  I have to add North Dakota.  I love these places because they are populated with family members and family memories that mean everything to me.

I put up and put up and put up with great tolerance until I am done.  And then I am absolutely done and that is that.  You have lost me as a friend.  Sometimes, I push buttons without realizing it, but when challenged, I apologize and try to do better.

I love paintings and art and have a secret desire to publish a picture book filled with lovely, lovely paintings that raise readers to states of transcendence where they see life as it is and we all are better for it.  But I write young adult books.  And so I hope to someday create pictures in the minds of my readers with similar results.
