The pseudonym comes from my love of writing (hence the blog) + my name (Deborah) which means “bee” in Hebrew - not that I’m Jewish, but my dad is something of a biblical scholar, so there you go.

I was born in Oregon but grew up on the East Coast. Over the last 10+ years I’ve lived in Alaska, the U.K., and New York City. Right now I’m in Bucks County, PA with my puppy pretty close to where I grew up outside of Philly (although I’m not really sure what I’m doing in the ‘burbs).  One positive to my current suburban life is my church, The Well.  I love my church and the people in it are amazing - a total answer to prayer, too, because I’d been all-but-begging God for some friends or, better yet, a community.  A tall order for most suburban areas where people tend to insulate themselves in their homes and cars most of the time.  But, true to form, God came through and provided even more than I hoped for.

I have a pretty acute case of wanderlust which manifests itself through my love of travel which is what helps keep me sane!  I dabble in photography and love to play with Photoshop. I also love coffee and do my best to keep the local Starbucks in business. I’m still single and though I’m not sure why, I’m cool with it and enjoying myself in the meantime - God’s got my back, after all.

Oh, and if you read my blog for very long, you’ll discover that I’m also completely addicted to Dave Ramsey and am totally “gazelle intense” with the plan to be debt free by the end of 2010.

And if all that wasn’t enough, here’s my Facebook Profile and a photo too - not the most recent (my hair’s a little different & puppy has gotten a little bigger), but you get the idea…   Additionally, you can read my blog-standard list of 25 Things (because 100 is just too many).  Rock on.
