by Sybil Bartel
And two words never seem more inadequate than when I’m thinking about my mom. She has taught me so many things. She’s quiet and reserved if you don’t know her, and she always has a smile, but beneath her unassuming appearance is a woman I admire more than I can possibly express. She taught me to be myself. She taught me to be unapologetic when going after what I want. She taught me to be kind, and she taught me to never give up. She says every problem has a solution, every ailment has a cure, and every dream is achievable—if you work for it.
So this is me, Mom, working for it.
Thank you.
I love you.
XOXO—Sybil
Sybil grew up in northern California with her head in a book and her feet in the sand. She used to dream of becoming a painter but the heady scent of libraries with their shelves full of books drew her into the world of storytelling.
Sybil now resides in southern Florida, and while she doesn’t get to read as much as she likes, she still buries her toes in the sand. If she’s not writing or fighting to contain the banana plantation in her backyard, you can find her spending time with her family, and a mischievous miniature boxer.
But seriously?
Here are ten things you really want to know about Sybil.
She grew up a faculty brat. She can swear like a sailor. She loves men in uniform. She hates being told what to do. She can do your taxes (but don’t ask). The Bird Market in Hong Kong freaked her out. Her favorite word is desperate, or dirty, or both, she can’t choose. She has a thing for muscle cars. But never rely on her for driving directions, ever. And she has a new book boyfriend every week.
