My husband is a list maker. He makes lists of things to do, to buy, to not do, and a million other things.

Usually I find his lists everywhere in my house in his pants pockets, on his dresser and on the kitchen table. I read through them and throw them away because they are either outdated or completed

In September he had life changing abdominal surgery, after of years of struggling with the pain of Ulcerative Colitis. It was a very difficult decision for both of us. We sat down at the kitchen table together and wrote a list pros on one side and cons on the other.

Last week while cleaning his dresser I found our list. I read through it and placed it in my bedside drawer. This is one list that I will keep.

I'm a blood type A secretor Warrior, the last of four children, born to a BT O Polish father and a BT A Italian mother. I'm married to an O Gatherer and have two teenage children, a BT A Teacher daughter and a BT O Gatherer son.

I was introduced to the ideas of Peter D'Adamo in 1989 when my husband became a patient of Peter's. Then reaquainted with his ideas when he wrote Eat Right for Your Type. I have been excited about the BT way of life for over 15 years.

I currently live and work in a suburb of Long Island as a registered nurse in both an emergency room and an Endoscopy unit of a local hospital.

When I am not at work I am passionate about gardening, my family, food science, Chat Right for Your Type, interesting conversation and converting people to blood type dieting.
