A: My family, words, and trees make me happy.
– My family: I’m an older mom, and I appreciate and relish every minute with my little boy and my bonus kids. Nothing in life will ever compare to being a mom — it is a humbling, challenging, and completely rewarding experience, and I’m grateful to be in the throes of it right now (even if it means compromised sleep!).

Words are essential for me.
– Trees: I am a Mainer, through and through. Give me a book, a black lab, and a nice spot to squat under an old birch tree, and I’m happy.
