About Me

I guess you could say I am eclectic. I pretty much fit my birth sign of Gemini. Serious, yet playful, adventuresome within limits.

In 2011 I had a life changing event with a Stage 4 HER 2 positive diagnosis of breast cancer metastasized to the lymph nodes, six spots in my bones(one in hip, four in spine, and one in the sternum). I was sentenced to death, but this was when God taught me how to live.

I dream of traveling, not just a bite from the travel bug, but I really dream of traveling. My goal is to visit all seven continents, and put my feet in all five oceans. I want to see the wondrous works of art God has placed on this planet.

My life is my daughter, my six grandchildren, my husband, my cat, and my church family.

Creating cards, book marks and crafts is being in the zone for me. I get fully immersed, absorbed and totally enjoy myself. Playing solitaire on my phone and playing Yahtzee are hobbies along with cooking and baking with love, then gifting my baked goods. All forms of self expression. I enjoy sharing.

Life changed a lot for me with the cancer journey. I got born again. Work no longer occupied my time, as I went on disability, but somehow time was filled and I wonder…how did I work full time and do all that I did?

So I am a sister, a friend, an aunt, a mom of one, a grandmother of six, a Christian, a wife amongst other things. I am not saying how good I am at any of these things. I drive, I walk, I talk, and sing (but I don’t sound good singing). I dance at church, I laugh, I cry and I embarrass my family. I sometimes take life too seriously, and sometimes I don’t take it seriously enough. I love people, flowers, animals-especially cats of all kinds and elephants. I love sunny days, and days that are just free to be days.
