About - Okay let's get random

So, there's way too much to Jessie to throw it all up on an about page, but for just a few fun facts, here we go:

Above all, I love the Lord and choose to follow Him and serve Him all the days of my life. I welcomed Jesus as my Lord and Savior at the age of 26, with no prior Christian upbringing or knowledge base. The work He has done in my heart and life has been LOVE.

I'm a mom, I love it. They keep me entertained and I love helping them grow, develop and learn.

I developed a sudden love for camels a couple years ago and it never left - like, I REALLY love camels - yup weird.

I've always been drawn to other cultures even since childhood, and never really felt like I had a cultural representation of my own. I'm kind of just me... enjoying.

My great, great grandfather built the Grand Staircase on the Titanic - yeah, THAT Titanic...

I really enjoy being out in a canoe (or kayak). I once canoed from city to city by my self on a river in Czech Republic.

I'm a country-girl a heart... but I need the cultural offerings of the city... Hmmm. Someday, country will win :)

I'm resourceful, good at making due with what I have. I will find a way... Starter fluid or not...

I'm a geography nerd... I used to sit and study my dad's old globe for hours. I still use maps (real and digital) - no GPS.

I love to create culinary delights.

I'm a published Author. The book is Color By Design: Why You Do What you Do, Think What You Think, Care About What You Care About. It has 5 Stars.

Inside I think I'm a gardener... though things seem to bloom accidentally better than with my help. It doesn't stop me from trying though...

As a CBAP (Internationally Certified Business Analyst) I decided to launch a program to help others start or improve a career as a business analyst, and get these skills accessible to nonprofits and small businesses.
