Humble Beginnings

I was privately adopted at 13 months of age by an angel on Earth. A single woman. I am her only child.  She is a devout Christian, never used profanity, never yelled, loves to sew and garden and very gentle and kind. 

By the time I was three years old, she had taught me to read and write and states I insisted she read “Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Home Now” by Dr. Seuss every night.  

Early Reading Adventures

My favorite readings were a 1969 World Book Encyclopedias, a red and white Encyclopedia of Dogs and “Sweet Pickles”, a character development series.  

A Mind Full of Words​​

Currently, I read the news constantly and would be considered a read/write learner. I think and dream in words.  Stories, books and poems. I make a conscious effort to “turn off the words” in my brain as the words are similar to a movie reel and never stop. To help slow down the words, the www.uxdataed.com blog was created to provide me an outlet.  UXDATAED.com is an about anything but everything.
