About Me

I work alot. I serve people with special needs. I manage a home with five beautiful people who are developmentally distabled. i've worked in the field going on 4 years and i've learned more than i've taught....gotten more than i've given, ya know? Things that get me jazzed are the river and the beatuiful mountains. I keep the company of my dearest friends, who are such a blessing to me. I love experiencing expressive, acceptional music, i love contemplating. I'm a painter, a listener, an observer. Basically, i'm just a good ol' homegrown girl livin in colorado. That's the jist of it.
