I was born in England and educated there, as well as in Barbados, Honduras, and the United States. I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications in 1981. I am the co-author, with Linda Lindroth, of the book Virtual Vintage: The Insider's Guide to Buying and Selling Fashion Online, Random House, 2002. I live in Florida with my family as well as several cats, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherd-mixes, squirrels, alligators, osprey, cranes, eagles, turtles, lizards, and a spotted white Pit Bull terrier named Winston.
The truth is incontrovertible; malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
- Sir Winston Churchill
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
- Oscar Wilde
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction... The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
