Patty's motto: Life is not about getting everything in place and keeping it that way.
How do you spend your time when you're not working at Vivala?
I love to play tennis and, as of this spring, I've been learning to scull. It has been a real challenge for me but nothing beats being out on the water very early in the morning listening to the long oars glide through the water and feeling the boat skimming along.
What have you done that scares you?
In years past, I have had several scary experiences doing some outdoor adventure things but I especially remember nearly drowning in Puget Sound when I was learning to scuba dive. It confirmed for me that when panic sets in we can do some really stupid things!
What makes you feel centered?
When I'm home outside working in my garden enjoying the beautiful view on a quiet afternoon.
What's your favorite piece of clothing?
My slinky, brown Lole jacket and pants!
What's your favorite thing about working at Vivala?
Working at Vivala is totally different from my other work experiences. I'm so proud of Cheryl and am very happy to be a part of her dream. Plus I love the clothes and customers, and doesn't every girl like to dress up some very big dolls? Mannequins, that is!
