I had been either a legal secretary or paralegal for the past 30 plus years but had to retire in 2008 because of a stroke that did a little damage to my right side. It's hard, because I feel WAY too young to have retired thusly! Thank goodness my good friends from work are still just that--good friends! I am divorced and have a beautiful daughter who lives in Alaska (too far away!), is married, has a precious son, and is currently (May 2011) expecting a Christmas baby! I also have two wonderful cats (a Ragdoll, CeGe, and a gray ART cat, Sofi). I love art, music, and taking photos, among many other things. And I love NOVICA and your wonderful products!
