About Me

I'm 47 going on 5 which used to bother me, but I have come to accept myself, its who I am. I'm quirky, strange, and uncoordinated. Many times I feel uncomfortable in my body, sometimes it feels like it's the wrong size. My husband and I live with and are caretakers for my 86 year old father, two dogs, four fish and lots of cats.I have two children who are grown and living their lives, they are kinda quirky just like me and thats great! Its lonely being green. Words cannot express what my kids mean to me. I admire them both and am sometimes amazed at their accomplishments. I seem to swim against the main stream, so I usually just remove myself from it altogether. I will never fit in, and I feel fortunate for that, maybe there's hope for me yet!

My Interests

ART-My creativity is an important part of my life, as long as I have it I can handle any- thing that life throws at me. I love to sketch, paint, decopage, press flowers, do mosaics, work with fimo, and create yard art with found objects. You could say I'm a "jack of all trades, master of none." Photography is a more recent interest, I love taking pictures of odd and unusual things in addition to the flowers and insects in my garden. Which brings me to my next interest, gardening. I love growing things, I love digging in the dirt, I love the smell of dirt, I love the feeling of dirt in my hands, when in my garden I feel tranquil and my mind can rest. I have a facination with the Divine, as well as the metaphysical. And last but not least I love to read. My favorite tomes are spiritual and metaphysical, such as alchemy, white witchcraft, and divining with runes.
