About

I am Vivianna Welflin

Behind that name is an L.A. latina woman born in the ’60s. I’ve been married twenty-eight years to one of few “Welflins” in the United States (trust me, I’ve done the research). I am the proud mother of two adult children in their twenties.  My majors were Graphic Arts and English, though I mastered Cafeteria 101 (people watching). I continued my studies at a printing company, a bookbinding company, a stock brokerage firm, a law firm, a crisis center on Skid Row, a bank, a public relations agency, and a preschool. My Executive Assistant skills were enhanced in preparation for the most challenging and important roles of my life from which I will never retire. I am a wife and mother.

Our beautiful daughter, born with Down syndrome, requires a cheerleader every now and then and I look good in a short skirt, so here I am.  My son only needs my amazing recipes and a little mending (not just by needle and thread).  My husband is built like a brick at 6’3″.  His mind, body and spirit are mid-western and 150% man.  We make each other laugh, a lot.

I’ve traveled all over this country by all forms of transportation.  I’ve been fortunate to have seen more of Mexico than the U.S.  I’ve driven off a cliff and lived to talk about it, parasailed in a strapless one-piece and lived to talk about it (lol).  I value family and friends and am enthralled with stimulating one-on-one conversation.  The garden, photography and crafting keep me entertained, but writing is what I am compelled to do.  I listen to all music including Chicago, Vivaldi, Blake Shelton, Pink, etc.
