Sandra Bullock Smith

 I am a retired human resources executive, world traveler, angler, adventure junkie and storyteller.  I grew up in northwest Florida and spent 20+ years in the colorful gumbo of south Louisiana. My current home base is Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I live with my husband, Mike and our mongrel pups. Mike is an endurance runner so you can often find me supporting ultra runners at 100 mile trail runs.  I love experiencing new things, and have traveled to all seven continents.

One of  my greatest challenges in life was the ten-year period during which I and my siblings cared for our aging mother. This experience led me to pen my first book, Trading Places: Becoming My Mother's Mother. I hope it offers insight and encouragement to anyone involved in a similar labor of love.

I believe that caring is perhaps our greatest skill when it comes to problem solving.  No matter what challenge you are facing, if you approach it with a caring attitude, you are likely to achieve a positive result.

You could have picked any of the hundreds of thousands of bloggers out there. Thank you for entering my universe.  I care about making this blog meaningful and helpful.  Join me in the adventures and challenges of my life. Suggestions? Would love to hear from you.
