About Me

I am 48 year old happily married female. I worked in the healthcare profession for 17 years but,have been disabled for the past 7 years. When I married for the first time, (almost 6 years ago) I got a bonus in acquiring two beautiful daughters. Some say I am opinionated and outspoken....that is a fair statement. My opinions often come from standing for what is the right thing to do and how we should treat others. It is good to have an opinion it is just learning when those opinions are wanted and should be spoken. Well, that is a tidbit about me...
