My given and married name is Suzanne Marie Bowen. For the past six years, I have been an avid Wikipedia reader, researcher and occasional editor, usually only putting my ex-English teacher skills to task on different sites to clarify meaning and encourage standard English mechanics.

My Linkedin profile is a good resume, so no need to state my professional, social, and educational experiences and accomplishments. I'm active with IDs on Twitter, iTunes, Youtube, Facebook, Linkedin, company blogs, TMC blog, and other social media, mainly to showcase empowering people, groups, technologies, products, and ideas that may not necesarily be getting the attention deserved because of geographical location or other un-changeable characteristics.

What makes me want to wake up in the morning are my interests in research for the sake of research and discussion, blogging, IP communications, social media, people-watching, helping to grow people, entrepreneurial activities, running, herbal and vegetable gardening, sci fi and documentaries, family, and socializing online and offline while seeing how we can help each other with our life goals.

I'm used to not getting credit for some things I accomplish or help to accomplish, but aren't most of us? What is more important? The credit, the accomplishment or what it does for me and others? The last because it spells any combination of the following: opportunity, money, future.

Some quotes and things you hear me say a lot: 1. Life is short and we are dead a long time. 2. Do less and do it right. 3. "Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition..." Barack Obama 4. "One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain." By Thomas Sowell 5. "I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing." Agatha Christie 6. Do unto others as we have them do unto us. (Not do unto others before they do unto us. Ha ha ha.)
