Places I've been

Texas, Many places in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Michigan, MANY PARTS OF INDIA, Mexico, Indiana, Missouri, Florida, California, Nevada, Arizona, New York-- I was in the healthcare industry for almost 30 years. I've owned a few health related companies. I was responsible for setting up one of the first PPO's in the US. Also negotiated with the Insurance Department to not regulate PPO's. I was chosen to represent the US, along with 17 other representatives, to travel through INDIA. The purpose was to investigate the health care crisis and provide some solutions. I had the pleasure of meeting with Mother Teresa. In one of the companies I owned, I set up The American Alliance Against AIDS. I received an honorary doctorate in Healthcare Management from India for my work on AIDS.

More about me

I'm a LIFESTORY DESIGNER. I create beautiful visual stories w/photos, videos, music & words. My world was all about my husband, Tark for the last 3 years. I took care of him while he was ill. He died on July 29, 2010. MY HEART is Tark's home now. I celebrate his new life by creating Life Story creations about him and others. He had a charmed life and many stories to share with his family and friends.

What is a LifeStory Designer? We design LifeStory Creations using YOUR personal stories, pictures that bring back those special moments to remember in your life, and your most treasured items to preserve forever. Although we have a physical business in Harrison, AR we are offering a worldwide community service for all life story artists.

Working in collaboration with others in the LifeStory Designers Community, we are helping people use the things from their life to tell fully formed, enriching Life Stories that will be shared with future generations for years to come.

Activities

Like Ellen DeGeneres, I LOVE TO DANCE. Making Digital Collages is my passion. I love to sew also. Haven't had much time for it lately, but I'm planning on getting into it this summer. I'm going to tackle making plastic jewelry using "Shrinky Dinks." Do you remember those machines? Well I still have one that's never been used. I love working out (walking, water aerobics, circuit training, tai chi, yoga, pilates)
