I consider my life VERY BLESSED. I have a wonderful son, whom I raised by myself, and I have the most wonderful friends and have had amazing experiences throughout my life, as well as a successful career as a nurse. I decided to retire from nursing in 2000 to travel and enjoy more of my life. I lived in Wisconsin for a while, Michigan, Asheville, and Pensacola and central Florida. While in Pensacola, I booked and promoted some of the local songwriters there and renewed my love for REAL MUSIC! I started and organized the first "POINT OF MUSIC FESTIVAL" there, to showcase our songwriters and raised several thousand dollars for the local volunteer fire department on the key, who helped us so much after hurricane Ivan...In 2005 Hurricane Katrina came and changed so many lives..my heart was shattered at what I saw on that tv and felt a sadness that i still cannot put into words...I had to relocate back to central Florida, leaving paradise behind. In February of 2006 I became a founding member of the SOUL PATROL, the fan club/online, REAL MUSIC loving family of Taylor Hicks, who went on to win American Idol Season Five! I organized and promoted the soul patrol's very first charity fundraiser, "Taylor's Couch", and the proceeds went to two of Taylor's favorite charities in Birmingham, KID ONE TRANSPORT AND STUDIO BY THE TRACKS! I had the time of my life and have met friends from all over the world that I will cherish forever...it was an experience that I will TRULY NEVER FORGET!! I am quite an artsy person as well!! I am not happy unless I am around music and all that includes...I am constantly thinking of ways to improve my space at home, my garden and to get the REAL MUSIC out there for all to enjoy! My love of original music, helping others with life's problems, my friends and my art are my passions!!...oh, I cannot forget the love of my life..my little dog, hanna b :) My SOUL PATROL CHARITY DONATION TO KID ONE TRANSPORT..
