Norma's Story

Life My life bio????? Very simple: I still have intense love and zest for life! Rather than life "happening to me", I like to think that "I still happen to life!" I have one child- a daughter, born in 1977. She now resides in Chicago. I am married (the 2nd time) and I am still a local So. Californian. In 2000 and after 24 yrs with Pacific Bell Directory (Now SBC Communications) I retired as a Technology Mgr. Prior to that, for 19 yrs (at the same company) as an Advertising Sales Representative. I obtained a BS in Business Management late in life- 2001! I have a passion for travel and my best travel experiences are always in remote places such as Harbin, China for the annual Ice Sculptures, and Havana, Cuba as an exchange artist learning about the island's political processes and its impact upon present day artists in Cuba. The most daring sport activity I have experienced (and loved) was parachuting; but at 51, I feel more comfortable with my feet on solid ground and at the most, a gliding ski slope with a few moguls! After I managed the responsibilities of parenting and the "career" expectations, I reverted to pursuing and experiencing life according to my desires and goals. I always wanted to enroll in an art school rather than a traditional college or university. In the days I graduated, that was absolutely unheard of; only hippies and dropouts were labeled as artists and musician...Expand for more
s. Funny how times have changed and culture is something that is recognized, admired and encouraged in all walks of life! I attended Otis Art Institute; found my true niche in life and now I am following my passion and my world is viewed from the eyes of an artist! My work is not traditional...I work with textile decoupage glass art. Contributing to non-profit organizations and volunteering my time are essential elements that are important in my life. As an artist, I have worked with students at continuation high schools and most recently, I am working a few hours each week with Alzheimer's participants at a local adult daycare in my area. I'm a news buff and political addict that loves forming my own opinions regardless of what I hear or read! I'm definitely a nostalgia nut or else I wouldn't take the time to populate or look for information on "classmates.com". In ending, I will say that there can never be times that equate to the late 60's or early 70's. Everything was intense passion....and of course we were those that always (and hopefully still do) had strong opinions about why our paths were so untraditional and how we would change the universe!! Hearing one old song from the past still has an amazing effect on my life and I like spending time reflecting back to "the days of wine and roses". UPDATE 2010 - Living in Chicago! 1st Granddaughter born 6/08!!!!!!! Thank you LIFE!
