: About Me

Fringe member of society who loves her country but not the corporate-bought elected officials.  A suicide survivor since 2007, when her older son died of depression.  She is spiritually-minded and a lover of Nature, along with all the flora and fauna.  She dreams of the day when people wake up to what's being done to them and say, "Enough!"

My passion is ...

learning to be positive at all times - NOT easy!

I know too much about ...

frugal living.

My parents always told me ...

I could be whatever I wanted. Who knows what they want at 18?

My childhood ambition ...

archaeology...without the schooling.

My favorite memory ...

sons' births; the creek behind our house where I could sit for hours - didn't know what 'communing with Nature' was then

Why I write ...

I communicate MUCH better than talking.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

the Illuminati; medicine v. natural health; spirituality; depression and suicide; angels; channeled messages; our messed-up school system

My first job ...

phone solicitation for a sheriff's office-sponsored circus.

My best moment ...

hasn't happened yet.

My inspiration ...

my son's suicide has motivated me to make people aware how serious brain disease is.
