: About Me

I am a woman of faith, hope and joy who is growing in the dream of the Creator. I love teaching and inpiring others. I am faithful and free, keeping eternity in view. I write books, do life coaching and catch the breeze when I can.

I love life, have lived alot of grief and learned alot of lessons.

I was born in the midwest, grew up in the south and landed in the West. I have traveled around the world but want to travel more. I come from a large family and think everyone would benefit from someone.

I love children, learning, reading, writing, singing, laughing and sweet ice tea is my worst addiction. To relax, I walk, do rubber stamping and hang with friends.

I have been blessed to do what I have dreamed of doing most of my life. I have been married for over 33 years to a man no words can describe and no heart deserves. I have several children in heaven and a daughter here on earth. I live for my 'grands' who save my life on a weekly basis. I am proud of my son in love who is a firefighter for our country. I serve God as an everyday kind of thing and that relationship affects everything I do.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting (Other) Becoming an empty nester

3 of 4

Our empty nest started not too long ago. One daughter got married and one daughter went to heaven. There we were, with entire days and nights to ourselves for the first time in twenty five years. We were unique in the fact we had a profoundly retarded child. She had been medically fragile and required round the clock care. Our life had been worked out to four hour segments where something would need to be done. The first time I realized I had an entire day with not one single thing on the agenda, I found it hard to believe. So will you. You will find yourself hearing their voice and gettin...
