After more than a decade as a self-employed freelance writer and editor, Kathleen would now be essentially unemployable in any job requiring her to show up at 8:00 a.m. wearing pantyhose. In earlier lives, she was a secretary, built computers, provided software support, was the office administrator for a company that provided codependency workshops, and worked on high-voltage electrical construction sites. For several years she wrote a column on stepfamilies for The Dallas Morning News, and she has edited and ghost-written numerous self-help books and articles. She would be happy to explain the difference between your and you're, but please don't ask her to troubleshoot Vista or find the shortcut keys on her cell phone.

She has learned that family, friends, love, dancing, and laughter are essential tools for growth and healing. (Grandchildren help, too.)
As her kids would be happy to tell you, Kathleen was frugal back when frugal wasn't cool. To find out more about her workshops on conscious money management, send her an email. She publishes a weekly humor column as well as a weekly money column www.consciousfinance.com.
