I have two daughters who are grown and have blessed me with 7 grandchildren.  They are my pride and joy.  I cherish the time we are able to communicate with each other.  My life has been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs.  I'm currently on the upslide.  I've been through 3 marriages, a dibilitating illness that left me disabled.  No, I'm not crippled, or helpless, and can function as a regular person.  I have all my mental facilities and am physically sound, as long as I take my meds.  I'll explain more if we become friends.

I am a volunteer.  Doesn't matter for what cause, or organization, if I agree with it, I will volunteer where ever I am needed.  I became homeless, jobless, ill, and totaled my car in June of 06.  Many said I would never drive again or (yikes) sew again.  I am determined to make a difference in someone's life.  I gave my life to Christ 6 weeks ago, with the help of my oldest daughter, and good things are happening to me as I write this.

I am thankful to be alive, because doctor's wern't sure if I would recover.  I had an excellent team of doctors that, along with God, I owe my life to.  I learned a lot from being homeless, and was also determined not to be a panhandler on the side of the road begging for money.  I found work that I could do to earn an honest living, but itwas still 16 months at the homeless shelter.    I do not, nor have I ever blamed God for my circumstances.  Much of my character was and is contantly developing from the hardships I have endured.  I have the love of my family, and from God and His Son.  So, I am indeed blessed.
