"Ocracoke NC"...The small almost hidden island ..... tent camping while nursing a little baby and caring for a five and a six year old. The best summer at the beach ever............................. ............................................... Self educated from hugh school on ................................................ The bulk of my career has been in computer and peripherals sales and administration and educational software sales and administration. .................................................

More about me

Once upon a time there was a very fortunate woman. She lived her life loving the her family, her friends and the Goddess. Her family took care of her when she was very ill and stood by as she struggled back again to life. She became very poor but felt rich in the love she received from family and her friends who were like family to her. She delighted in their company and loved them all deeply. Nature was always part of her life, the trees and the ocean, the mountains and the valleys, the sun and the moon and the stars, always reflected by the Mother's presence. Her grandchildren were her treasures, bringing their toys and their tears, their laughter and their joys to her door. She lived an interesting and challenging life and she wrote about her victories and losses, her celebrations and lovers in her blogs and her poetry. As she recovered from illness she gave her time to others and it brought her joy and community. As she got older she found a little wisdom and a lot of happiness and peace, in her life, and was grateful. Loving deeply, and laughing, she finds living in this beautiful world to be delightful.

This was the truth and............these are the facts. I'm a pagan and a lesbian, which will send many many packing right now. I've suffered with bipolar illness and healed. There go more of you. LOL  I'm still disabled by a back injury. I volunteer with Hospice and am beginning to volunteer with Helpline. I worked in computer hardware and software sales and administration for many years and I love technology. Give me a computer and a cell phone and I'm getting happy. Add in the grandchildren and I'm ecstatic. Life is wonderful
