I'm a convert (from Catholicism) to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'm second-generation Italian (Trifiletti/Bello lines), and thrill with the rest of the Saints that a temple will be built in Rome, Italy. Love raising my 2 vivacious teens, meeting people and learning with and from their lives, and the work of sharing our faith online. Enjoy writing, reading, the sand between my toes (memory of that is fading here :)), PR, great non-fiction, and more... Please feel free to contact me at any time.
