Hi, I’m Kimberly! I’m a single woman “of a certain age” who works as a marketing communications leader at a global manufacturing company. My loves are, travel, meeting & introducing people, food that makes you moan and the tinking of wine glasses. I’m as prone to spontaneous moments of sage insight, as I am to trip over my own feet! I really try to stay fit and healthy but I just can’t say no to great pizza, pasta, and the accompanying wine. I’m an unplanned planner. When I travel, one day has a plan and one day doesn’t. A structured go with the flow if you will. And, I am an eternal optimist. I see it half full…but I still want more…I’d like it to overflow! Wouldn’t you too?
