About Me

I've been married to my husband Krefting for 26+ years. He is an amazingly creative and gifted man with the ability to fix just about anything or make it better. I could say the same about what his love did for me the day we met. We love to travel together discovering a lot of little out-of-the-way places. I am a songwriter, musician and singer as well as a motivational speaker. One interesting fact about me is that I am related to Kurt Cobain. He was my sister's son, my nephew. After his suicide death in 1994 I began going into schools and talking to teens regarding choices and consequences. I call the presentation Life...It's Worth It! I wrote a song specifically for this presentation about a butterfly coming out of its cocoon. If you would like to hear the song check out my artist page at MySpace.com/kurtsaunt or click on Kurts Aunt Mari below.href="http://www.myspacelayoutspy.com" target="_blank"a
