More about me

I like people who are able to open their minds, and think outside the boxes that society would place around us. Money means little, as I have none. Looks mean little, as I am average. The heart means everything, as I have one.

I am the mother of four (two deceased), grandmother of four (soon to be five! Yay!). 

Music is my solace, my strength, my hopes, my passions. I will exit this world singing and dancing.

My body and mind become broken. Always Spirit finds a way to remind me that I can survive. I will wear my scars with pride until the day that I can return to the world of wings.

Mitakuye Oyasin...

Blessings and Peace.

Favorite People

My kids and grandkids. Most admired? Those who lay down their lives for a way of life, those who give them aid and comfort, and those who can only stand by, watch, and pick up the pieces in sorrow. Firefighters. Christian Glitter by www.christianglitter.com

Favorite Places

Camping at a state park among the trees, and next to a campfire. Under the stars on a balmy night. Riding in a pickup with the windows down, the wind in my hair, and the radio full blast. Watching my precious grandsons sleep. Right here at home

Favorite Animals

Wild and free anything. I walked right up to a wild moose while I was fishing in Montana once. I didn't know they could attack you. Dumb city girl. He just looked at me for a few minutes, then loped away. It was the thrill of my life.
