Hello.......


I'm only creating this blog in case you were from a part of my life when I was known as Paula Jory.  I was married to Jim Jory and lived in Seattle, WA.  I served in the LDS church in both Stake Relief Society and Stake Young Womens' capacities, plus I was ward Relief Society president twice and Young women's ward president as well.   You may have known me from there.  I lived in Ballard in the early years, then Lake Forest Park at Horizon View.

I also sold my own crafts and art at Pike Place Market and many art shows in the Oregon and Seattle area.  I had outlets at many gift stores such as Nordstroms and a wide variety of gift shops.  I started this business when I lived in Eugene, Oregon soon after my husband decided to go back to school to get his masters.

I played tennis at Forest Park tennis club and played in a number of tournaments through the club.  I was also the neighborhood piano teacher - some of you may remember that.... :)

I certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and became a master practitioner in 1990.  I had clients prior to moving from Seattle and I also practiced for the first few years in Blanding until I got far too busy.

My ex-husband was employed by a number of law firms in Seattle and I met dozens of lovely people in that setting.

In the years prior to moving, I worked for Management Advisory Services, Foodservice Consultants Society International, Commerce Clearing House and the Resource Data Management.  I also managed a medical practice and did a Desk-top publishing business for a while.

If you wish to know why Paula Jory is no longer my name, see the Blog under my maiden name, Paula Bandy.  There's a rough sketch of my early years in that blog and it transitions to when I became Paula Jory.  It also describes how I became Paula DeJoshua.  I hope to hear from you.  You can search through Blog and Face Book (Paula Bandy - Farmington NM is listed on the web) and also find me on line - last time I looked there were two full pages of references.   I think there is only one Paula DeJoshua, possibly in the whole world - how about that?   Hope to hear from you!   :)   Paula
