My name is Kathy Redmond and thank you for visiting Tangled Tranquility.  Let me tell you a little bit about myself…

I have been married to a really great guy for more than half my life.  We have two daughters, all grown up and on their own.  Both are amazing, independent and lovely women – we are very proud of them.  Our oldest daughter gifted us with two grandchildren – one girl, one boy.  I’m here to tell you, being a grandparent is everything you’ve ever heard and so much more!  No children from our youngest yet, but she is moving in the right direction.  She will be getting married later this year.  We have two dogs, both cairn terriers.  I love my boys – Howie Long and Harley (not a reference to Davidson.)  We also get visits from several grand dogs on a regular basis.

I can choose from an alphabet soup of letters to put after my name – it just depends on what I’m doing.  I have a bachelors’ degree in interior design, am NCIDQ certified and licensed and registered to practice interior design (though I don’t.)  I completed my MBA about a year ago while working full-time – I never said I was sane.  Finally, I got my CZT (certified Zentangle teacher) in February of 2011.  I just wanted to learn Zentangle from its founders, Rick and Maria, and had no ambitions about teaching.  After attending the CZT workshop, I realized it was important to share and pay it forward.  So here I am.  Welcome and I hope you are inspired to join me in my quest for tranquility.
