Cathy Robinson Pickett - Friends Together

In 1991, Cathy Robinson was building a life—as mother, wife and teacher. She had a year-old daughter, and a son on the way. She had just celebrated her 3rd wedding anniversary. She had been teaching subjects she loved—social studies and civics—to high schoolers she wanted to inspire. In all, a life of normalcy and contentment, but a life that would soon become a battle because of a routine life insurance exam. In 1991, Cathy learned that she was HIV positive. As Cathy’s life has taken many twists and turns, the adventure continues. She is now re-married to her best friend Troy and her children have headed off to college. She’s on a new road of educating people using social networking tools and multimedia to get her message as far and wide as she can. Visit Cathy at http://www.straighttalkwithcathy.com
