Kathie Cain:  

Life I've been in the Orange County area for 30 years now, and have worked in the mortgage banking industry for 25 years. I was also a professional bellydancer for 23 years. I've never lost my love of music and dance. I have one daughter and one grandaughter and am a proud grandma. I live near the beach and spend lots of time there. I Love to Travel anywhere. I would go back to Italy in a heartbeat, but Egypt, Greece and more of Europe are on my bucket list. Story Wizard Questions: I hope that people remember me as fun loving. I always wanted to be a Ballerina when I grew up & took years of lessons as a kid. Unfortunately my dream never came true. In retrospect it was a blessing because ballerinas usually have short careers and unhappy lives. Through the years though I managed to soothe the dance beast in me by bellydancing and was quite successful at it as a sideline. I walk by the beach or listen to music and dance to relax. I don't remember being wild. All I remember is wanting to get kissed. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have respect. My mom was my hero. She raised me on her own and sacrificed alot for me. I love Orange County because I'm near the ocean. I like the feel of wide open spaces and fresh air. Family & friends, writing, poetry, nature, history, music, art, travel and dance are my obsessions. I never thought I'd be in the Financial Services industry for as long as I have been. I always thought I'd be doing something more "artsy." My dream home would be anything with a deck and an ocean view. As a mom I've learned not to seek perfection in your children..no one is perfect. Raising a child has its ups and downs - it just goes with the territory. Also, to encourage your child to "pursue their dreams." A parent shouldn't put their own personal dreams or limitations on their children. As a grandmother I've learned to be more patient and compassionate and to see things through my grandaughter's eyes. I would love to see Mrs. Wilson, my 5th grade teacher to thank her for being so patient and strict with me in learning math. She had me sit through quite a few recesses to make sure I understood those math lessons. If I won $100 million I'd set aside money for various charitable organizations, invest alot, throw a big party for friends, spend alot on my daughter & grandaughter and travel. I lived in a dorm in boarding school through most of my elementary school years, but missed out on all those toga parties in college that I heard about...thank God! I am truly happy. I feel blessed. Except I wouldn't mind winning that $100 million. I just turned 57. At 12, I thought 57 year olds were ancient and old fashioned. It's not as bad as I thought except for those occasional aches and pains. I like the wisdom that comes with age. Now I know what THEY meant when THEY said, "if I knew then what I know now..." and "oh, my aching back." Ricky Nelson was my first crush. Sadly, he died in a plane crash. I also had a crush on Paul McCartney. I finally saw him in concert last year, bu...Expand for more
