More about me

Hi, I'm Clairetta Anderson. I'm an aspiring writer who has not had anything published yet. I did have an ezine, "Stories from the Belfry" for awhile where I sent out my short, inspirational stories. I have a blog for this purpose. I also an an artist, but have that on hold right now. I enjoy selling on craigslist and other web sites.

I love studying God's Word, even though I don't attend any particular church. I got into the Word in 1977, and my life has never been the same. 

I recently took the 30 Day Blessing Challenge with Kate Nowak. This has really changed my life and brought me back to God's Word. I love giving so this is perfect for me. I also signed up for and am participating in the 90 Day Prosperity Experiment. This has been a real eye opener for me. You can find information at www.bettertobless.com (Just copy and paste into your browser.)

I was pushed into early retirement when my last employer let me go. That was in 2004 and after giving 7 years of honest, loyal service. It was one of the best days of my life.

I am very thankful for what I have. I have my health, my husband and I will be celebrating our 19th. Anniversary next month, and I have a daughter who is one of the most special women in my life. She has gone from being homeless to being a professional lady. I am, especially proud of her accomplishments, considering all the things that happened to her throughout her life. She treats me like a friend because, as far as she is concerned, I am her best friend. I concur on this.

I've started taking short walks and getting out after years of having fear of being outside alone. Now I do so without any fear whatsoever. This is since I started trusting my Heavenly Father for everything in my life, knowing He takes care of me in every way.

I like meeting new people and making new friends. My friends find me loyal, trustworthy and enjoyable company. I feel the same way about them and give of myself to help them in any way I can. But, on the other hand, I will not allow myself to be used or taken advantage of by anyone and stand on my own two feet.
