I was an art major in college many moons ago. My major career other than being a wife and mother was in the real estate field. During my 19 years I obtained two professional degrees, both listed and sold properties, and managed a company. Teaching real estate law and time management filled in when time permitted. In 1990 I was told the RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) I have had since diagnosed at age 33 would prevent me from continual work in this field. After finally being at home full time I was able to find time for many creative pursuits but none captivated me like photography. Once I went digital there was no stopping me from totally enjoying this hobby. Though it I have developed many great new friends who share similar and overlapping interests.
