Describe your life before 1BL...
Retired after almost 30 years from Cal State Long Beach.
Describe your job...
Tend to the needs of the Lead Pastor & Worship Pastor to ensure smooth running of their offices (schedules, calendars, appointments).
Describe your family...
My children have given me 10 wonderful grandchildren, who are my delight! Recent exciting news is finding my birth family! Discovered I have 3 brothers & 2 sisters! It’s been amazing!
Describe a normal day...
Quick prayer for the day ahead; drive my grandson to school; head to 1BL to work & serve with a great team; pick up grandson from baseball practice; errands; connect with friends/family; read; lights out!
Choose One...
Beach or mountains?
I absolutely love both, but lean towards the beach—I could watch & listen to the waves crash on the shore for hours—it’s balm for the soul.
PC or Mac?
Mac, because I just got a new one!
Morning or Evening Person?
Morning, most days. . . actually, 10am-2pm works best for me. . . however, evening has it’s perks—I love sunsets . . . guess I’m just an all day kind-a-gal.
Sports or arts?
Arts, unless it’s watching my grandson play baseball.
Creative or administrative?
I’m both—creative is flat out fun (love the brainstorming and birthing a new idea), but administrative pays the bills.
Italian Food or Mexican Food?
Italian—any day, any way, anywhere—preferably in Italy. However, Mexican is a close second
Randoms...
Most embarrassing moment:
Hmmm . . . so many to choose from . . . I’ll go with forgetting the words to a song I was singing solo for a Good Friday service. I mean TOTALLY forgetting the words—complete brain cloud!)
One thing about the staff people don’t realize:
They’re “sweet-a-holics.” (You should see how fast anything with sugar in it disappears!)
Favorite Color:
I’ll choose the spectrum of yellows down to browns
If you had to do one other job in a field outside of your own, what would it be:
