About Me


Hmmm, I was born on a "Two's day" at 2:22 during a full moon. I suppose that explains it all! What it is, I'm not really sure; but I do sense that my life is somehow connected to something . . . . Greater?? I don't know, but something. I'm sure it's this connection that has seen me through some horrifically heart wrenching times.
"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill - I love that!
I spent 4 years in the Air Force and am very proud to have served our country. I married, had 2 girls, divorced, and married again. Jim and I blended our families and quite honestly, it wasn't always the easiest path. Being together for 16+ years, though, has proved it's definitely been the right path. I'm in love, happy, content, and have a deep admiration and respect for Jim and our girls.

Heroes:



There are definitely many people that I've wished to emulate. My Oma Vera, and my Oom Theo to start with. I could have learned so much more from those two. Their faith in God was so undyingly strong and they just couldn't give enough of themselves. I love and miss them both horribly. My gorgeous daughter Jenn ♥ What I would give for her charm and wit, her strength, courage and tenacity . . . where'd she get that?! My hubby ♥ for his constant, unwaivering support, his kindness and his PATIENCE, his belief in me, and for and always, always, knowing how to make me smile. I Wish I could be more like all of these people; just a few of my heroes.

A Life Poem

Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind. Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind... Life can be blissful and happy and free... Life can put beauty in the things that you see......
