Hello I'm Linda and this is my introduction

I love to laugh. My writing reflects that aspect of my personality. I have my Master’s degree in Sociology from the University of Missouri at Columbia. That training provides me a way of looking at life from various angles, cultures and perspectives, and helps provide some insights for my writing.

I grew up in Connecticut to immigrant parents. My mother came to America from Canada and my father was born in Sweden to an unmarried Polish mother. I was the first member of my family to graduate from college. It wasn’t easy since I was a single mother with 2 small children.

Married for over 40 years to my current husband, I have 2 grown sons and a beautiful Grandson. I am retired now, but I was the Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Departments at Fleet Bank in Connecticut and then I was an SVP at The Kislak Corporation in Miami Lakes, Florida. I started my career at the University of Conn as the assistant Director of The Connecticut Poll. I also was an Associate Professor of Sociology at various Universities’ in Connecticut, Missouri and Florida.

My husband and I have traveled extensively throughout our marriage. I love to travel because it’s a way to meet people, explore new cultures, and to recheck and rebalance my belief systems. My beliefs are not in a stationary place but flow as I experience new thoughts or meet new people.

Our latest adventure is that we have become American expats currently living in Coronado, Panama. We have lived here for a year. Prior to that we lived in Costa Rica for a year. Before that, we sold everything we owned to become nomads. We love our life. We might stay in Panama for a while but who knows, we are free to explore wherever we want to go.
