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 always sure what I’m doing here).  One positive to my current suburban life is my church, The Well.  The people in it are amazing – a real community which can be tough to find in most suburban areas where people tend to insulate themselves in their homes and cars most of the time.

I have a pretty acute case of wanderlust that manifests itself through my love of travel which is what helps keep me sane!  I dabble in photography and playing 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.

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 (if not sooner).

And if all that wasn’t enough, you can read my blog-standard list of 25 Things (because 100 is just too many).  Rock on.
