: About Me

Reading and writing have been addictions for me since I was very young. The children in my life and my love for animals keep me supplied with writing material.

I have always had pets, and have been a wildlife rehabilitator since I was a child, when my father first taught me to take care of fallen baby birds.

I enjoy crafting, sewing, woodworking, hiking, traveling, photography and many other hobbies. I enjoy so many things it is hard for me to get to everything I want to do.

My love for reading started my interest in gardening, which led to herbs, then herbal medicines and natural health care.

I have been a professional dog groomer for 25 years now. The study of therapeutic canine massage was a natural extension of my grooming business.

Outdoors is where I like to be. I am fascinated by all of nature, and thank God every day for all the beauty in our world.
