About Me


At this stage of my life, I can say I am the proud parent of 2 adult childen and our "daughter in law"... two grandchildren, a few "adopted" children/grandchildren from Kenya, and a few sponsored families in Guatemala... and been married to a wonderful (mostly.. and more so lately) man for almost 30 yrs... my soulmate.
So I am a mother, grandmother, daughter, wife... and wearer of many hats. My main interests other than my family would be spirituality, herbal, natural and holistic healing.. I am a second degree Reiki practioner.. and feeling the call to move on to my masters when I find the right teacher.
In the last few yrs I have devoted my life to making a change in the world. After reading a book about a Rwandan genocide survivor called Left to Tell, by Immaculee Ilibagiza... I was left a changed woman. It was a real eye opener for me. Haunting me until I did something to try to help.
I started a website to sell the beautiful baskets the Rwandan women were making. Just over a year ago, we sold our farm tractor and with that money, we opened our Fair Trade shop in North Conway Village, NH. We now are helping people from all over the world, support themselves with their beautiful art. We have crafts from all over Africa, Haiti, Guatemala, Peru, Columbia, Mexico, Phillipines, Cambodia, Thailand, the US and more!
This is me... this is my passion and mission in life! You can also see more at www.GiftsOfLife.org
