A Warrior Mamma

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Each day, I know I'm becoming a stronger woman...I'm a Warrior Mamma (delivered my son & daughter at home w/ no medical assistance!), a supportive partner to my man ( Lord Yatta of Erb'en Arte ) and a compassionate daughter, sister and friend...My big sister describes me as indomitable...WOW, I'll accept that...I'm a Libra to the bone, so I'm always seeking balance, clarity and just peace of mind...
