Jayne's Story
My checkered past includes having lived in Germany briefly and in Italy for several years, working in concert promotion and production, advertising and public relations, various gigs as executive assistant to one entrepreneur or another, legal secretary jobs in three states, co-founding an organization that provides emotional and practical support to persons with HIV and those near to them, raising my now-adult son and a bunch of foster kids, bartending in a gay bar, I know there's more but I can't remember right now. Oh, I'm an ordained minister (internet variety) of the Universal Life Church. I have a California handgun safety certificate. I have an M-1 endorsement (motorcycle) on my drivers license. I'm a Notary Public. I totaled my 2001 Corvette Z06 a while ago, so I bought a 2003 Z06. I'm the anti-athlete; I'd rather be reading a book or shopping. I've been married (very unconventionally, since we often have lived in separate houses/cities/states) for nearly 24 years to a wonderful, beautiful, caring, considerate and crazy man 18 years my junior, but we are inexorably heading toward divorce, so the basic parameters of my life are in a state of flux, to say the least. But since I haven't actually seen him for a few years, my life won't be significantly altered, and I'll be better off in the long run. My best friends are my Corvette mechanic (my BFF) and my motorcycle mechanic, both of whom I love, and that's who I hang out with. As long as I have them, I'm fine.

th a profound reverence for the sanctity of life, and the driving principles of my life are honor, truth and justice. Loyalty, as in omerta, is also high on the list. I am seriously indolent and pathologically late.
My latest job ended simultaneously with my apartment lease, so I rented a warehouse for my earthly belongings and bought a little old motor home while I decide what to do. My life is chaos and I can't find anything. I'm also evaluating my options, having periodic anxiety attacks, mourning the loss of my fish ponds, hanging around with my dogs, alternatively enjoying the absence of and missing my kids, wishing I were independently wealthy (or at least solvent) so I didn't have to be concerned about paying the bills. My beloved daughter (my foster child since before she was two, and lifelong child of my heart) committed suicide in January and I'm still processing that immense loss.
I truly excel at attracting, finding and gathering in the stray, the broken and the lost; hand-holding and problem-solving; seeing and empathizing with both sides in an argument; fixing things; fixing people; procrastinating, wasting time, expanding any given task to exceed the amount of time allotted therefor; driving, driving fast, driving really fast; writing, editing, proofreading; resources, finding answers, gate-keeping and care-taking. I was also really good at my former profession, but that's ancient history.
I spend a lot of time thinking about what's next.
