I was very involved politically, first as the only peace-loving, tree-hugging, atheist in the College Republicans, then as a Libertarian, Democrat, and finally Independent. I worked as a lobbyist, ran a Southern Regional Office for a national non-profit organization (ACCESS &#8211; encouraging youth to get jobs in the public service sector), managed a couple of political campaigns, then back as a lobbyist &#8211; this time for a state government agency. Lots of community service work (youth organizations, environmental groups, women&#8217;s organizations, race unity efforts&#8230;) Then MASSIVE personal transformations &#8212; quit drinking (&#8217;93), found God (&#8217;94), got married (&#8217;95), got pregnant (4 mos. later), quit my job for full-time work of raising a family (&#8217;96).
