About Me


Creative SpiritzI am loving God, living life, and feeling pretty good about it! I love to laugh and have fun! Life really sucks if you can't laugh at it, even if it's only to keep from crying. I am a grad student, counselor, workshop facilitator, teacher, writer, and most importantly, I am a committed woman of God. I changed my page up a bit, switched the survey so you can have a few more random facts about me, added yet another slide show (I absolutely love taking pictures!!!!), and I think that's about it. In addition to just feeling good, I feel more at peace. This is the view from my favorite "time out" spot, downtown, underneath a tree by the river. It is so peaceful there...Here is a survey I just saw on someone's page and I liked it, so I borrowed it...
