Hi! My name is Carol, I'm 53 and my passion is people! I've been on the Internet since it began and I've met a kit and kaboodle of interesting people along the way. You never have too many friends and I believe interesting people keep you young, grounded and entertained!
Variety is the spice of life and people keep you whole. They teach you, mold you, center you and complete you when you can't see the forest for the trees. Even the youngest have insights on the simplest things in life that we have forgetten are there!
I enjoy the good fortune and blessing of having a wonderful, sensitive, compassionate husband. We've been married for (almost) 25 years and share a fiesty, intelligent, well-rounded (if not challenging) 18 yr. old daughter (who thinks she's 32!).
My Mom (who happens to be my best friend) lives next door to us and we share a large country farm, which is something both wonderful and challenging. Mom never misses a trick to keep me centered and ever mindful of how important family is. She's one of the smartest cookies on the block and I never cease to wonder at her fortitude and fascination of life.
My brother, his wife and 3 children live on the opposite side of her! There are those who would normally cringe at that thought, being so close to so much FAMILY and all, but we've all found a wonderful balance of "old world family values" and "new world" adventures many will never have the benefit to experience. I wouldn't trade my life for a gazillion dollars and I live each day to the fullest. It can get a little crazy at times, but life is NEVER boring!
The biggest blessing in my life is that we don't lack for the company of children on any given day. Life is SWEET with the laughter of children and is never dull, with or without them!
My father lives in another state but we still share a rich life together. He's a great source of inspiration to me when it comes to enjoying life's adventures. Dad's a "young" seventy-something, he still has a mind like a sponge and a quest for knowledge that is second to none. He's never lacking when I need a "Devil's Advocate" to help me solve a problem.
I love learning and enjoy all life has to offer. My motto is "learn at LEAST one thing new every day."
I like sharing, caring and nurturing my family and friends and I sure don't mind "speaking my piece" and "telling it like it is"!
You'll find me all over the place at Empowermom and I welcome you to join our community. I hope you'll become a part of something which is special to me and I hope it becomes special to you as well.
So go ahead and post your thoughts, share advice, ask for advice, share your knowledge, help others and pursue your passions! What have you got to lose?

Have an Empowered day!
