Hello! I’m Kori, and I live in Cincinnati, although born and raised in California. My 3 kids are adults now (although like someone else in the group, I have 2 trying to get their adulting going) and I work remotely, so I am able to go stay with my 82-year-old mom in Cali for weeks on end to visit and enjoy her company while we still have her. I’m 59, separated from my husband since 2019 but not divorced. It’s amicable but fear of doing my final act alone has held me back from changing the status quo. But I think I’m finally over that, and I feel like 2026 is going to be a year of big change for me. I turn 60 in September and I just feel like I’m on the cusp of some big changes. I am very active and always doing something. I love traveling and art. I try to visit the art museums wherever my travels take me. I just started taking a portrait oil painting class. I am LOVING the excavation of my creative self! The thing most people don’t know about me is that I grew up in a town called Weed in Northern California. Yes, there is a place and, believe it or not, I graduated high school from . . . Weed High School. 😬 Looking forward to getting to know you all and myself!

@Antoinette Diaz Hi Antoinette, I’ve worked in the legal field for more than 35 years as a paralegal. Immigration is one area I have not worked in. Currently in-house doing legal ops. The field has been a good fit for me. 😊
