Who am I...
Wendy Lee was born and raised in Michigan and now resides in the beautiful state of New Mexico. She believes in The Trinity, Heavenly Father, Jesus, and The Holy Ghost. And also believes her journey in spirituality emanates, and has direct influence over her life which include, inspirational ideals affecting her talents, and passion of writing. As for her work history during her latter years in high school, she began with a part–time job as a personal assistant to Mrs. Kauffman, a well known eccentric and fine art’s collector. In pursuit of following her dreams, she later graduated Cosmetology College in her home town of Muskegon, top in her class, and went on to land a coveted spot as a make-up artist, esthetician skin care specialist and trendy model working for an internationally famous hair stylist from the 60’ and 70’s. Her client’s soon became a who’s who of corporate and high profile women that included family members of the Gerber baby food industry, as well as famous Miss America pageantry winners like Susan Akins, Kellye Cash, and Kaye Lani Rae Rafko. In the early 80's, she earned title of make-up chairman for the Miss Michigan pageant committee and participated in countless other cosmetology conventions around the state and Chicago. Continuing her education and her life's journey, she volunteered to join the Air Force for five years from the late 1980's to 1992. Trained at Chanute Air Force Base in Illionios, she became a highly skilled metallurgist, working with aluminum, magnesium, stainless steel, and titanium. Within her five years of military service, she received two achievement medals, ribbons of accomplishments, and letters of appreciation from Commanding Officers. She was later recognized by her male peer group after winning a special incentive award which included a highly prized flight in a F-16 model aircraft while she was stationed at Hill, Air Force base Utah in the 388th Combat wing. The incentive flight never happened, and she was deployed just days before Christmas on December, 18, 1991 to the 4404 Composite Wing, Dhahran Air Base, Saudi Arabia. There she worked side by side with not only her American military co-workers, but also British contractors and Saudi’s military officials. At the end of her deployment, the Saudi's she worked closely with, and a few other high ranking military members personally shook her hand wishing her farewell and said she was welcome back to Saudi Arabia anytime. She describes that moment as overwhelming and one she will always remember crossing cultural barriers as a skilled female aircraft metallurgist working in their country. 1996, four years later in Saudi Arabia, building 131 near an apartment complex she stayed at in the Khobar Towers compound was hit by a terrorist bomb, 19 American soldiers died that day.
Reality does not always have a happy ending, but every life is still precious.
Alittle kiss and tell about ~wendy lee, also known by her close friends as the ~Poetry Princess...
She is that blonde, who walks through Wal-Mart wearing fuzzy leopard printed house slippers, smiling at everyone she meets. Imprinted after birth by the 1967 hit song "Windy". In her early years, some of her fondest memories are those camping at Hoffmaster State Park in Michigan with her childhood best friend named Angie and catching crawfish and slippery frogs in the streams. During her teens, it was strolling on the boardwalk in Grand Haven, Michigan next to the lake during evenings in the summer. She is a social butterfly type, easy going, free spirited, yet eclectic.Currently... I am fortunate and very grateful that I can now spend time with my family and express myself creatively and passionately in writing, poetry, beading, and web-designing and other personal activities. I believe in the power of faith in God and love. And, even though I am not on the organ donor program, my family and people closest mean the world to me. *******
