Travel: I practiced law in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years. I then gave myself a sabbatical while I traveled with my husband all over the world. Traveling from our home base in Sedona, Arizona, we lived in wonderful places like South Africa and the Hawaiian Islands (Kaua'i and the Big Island). Our most exciting adventure of all: living aboard a 36' sailboat for 3 years on the East Coast. We spent winters in Key West and summers on Cape Cod and the Chesapeake Bay.

Home in Petaluma: After our travels, my husband and I chose to make our home here in beautiful Sonoma County, January of 2007. I re-opened my law practice in Petaluma, which I have now limited to mediation. My husband created a very successful home inspection business, Home Inspections by Ken Normington (707.292.9092).
