I was born in 1968, just eighteen months after my sister Chrisse and just one year after Dad passed the bar exam.

My parents were both from the East and had moved to San Francisco only so my father could go to law school there.

There is nothing more attractive that a woman who is sure of herself.

Life is full of change and uncertainty. We know this. We experience it on a daily basis.

But life inevitably throws us curve balls, unexpected circumstances that remind us to expect the unexpected. I've come to understand these curve balls are the beautiful unfolding of both karma and current.

I am a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother. I am a friend of women and I am their advocate.

I'm proud that today, at 43 years old, I've come to value the aging process and focus on inner rather than outer beauty.
