About Me
I live in the mountains of British Columbia. I'm retired from the 9 to 5 world, but I've started a business where I can work from home for clients anywhere in the world. It's called Cardinal Writing Services. Since I was born under a Cardinal sign, I thought this was an auspicious name. Oh, did I mention that I love words? I hope auspicious means "bodes well." I'll have to check my Visual Thesaurus!

Favorite Word:
gorgeousA gorgeous man once told me my mouth looked sexy when I said this word! (Good enough reason to love it, in my opinion.)
Least Favorite Word:
phlegmLook at the definitions: I am emotional and passionate, which are opposite traits of this word. Lethargy is my enemy; we fight a daily battle. Sputum is gross. 'Nuff said!
