About Me

Since it's been a year since I went to China and I still havent' posted pics, i figured I might as well move on to something else! My text was a bit old. So this year I am beginning my second year of acupuncture school. This is the tough year, I have to learn all the points, the channels, and the diagnostics of what an illness is in Chinese medicine terms. It's going to be quite the challenge. Plus I have to travel to Boone NC every month for 5 days to attend school. It is called the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine. (See photo album)But, the trip is not too bad, I love school and I adore Boone. 3 more years to go! One month at a time! I am a single mother of two beautiful teenagers (see my extra pics)(my daughter is the top on my friends list, Vicky, isn't she incredibly beautiful!) and live in Wilmington NC, one of the most beautiful places in the states to live. My son is back at Chapel Hill for his Junior year and my daughter will be a sophomore in High School.((How did that happen?)(they grow up too fast!)Just bought a house so am very thrilled about having my own place!! ( Now that I've had it for a year and a half I still love it and have done extensive remodeling so it is better than ever!)        I am a healer and do most of my healing thru massage therapy, aromatherapy, and Reiki.(of course until I finish acupuncture school) I recently got certified to teach Qigong thru the Supreme Science Qigong Center so if you are interested in learning Qigong let me know. If you want to know more about it go to www.qigong.com.    until we meet again!                               namaste!!                           Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  g

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People that have traveled to exotic places and hear about their travels.    I'd also like to meet people who are into the healing arts and hear about where they studied and how they practice and how it has changed their lives.     People that study and seek God thru different spiritual concepts and practices would be interesting to talk to also. I'm really into openmindedness about life in general so would like to meet people from everywhere.    I think it would be really cool to know people from every state in the USA and every country in the world.    And I would love to meet His Holiness the Dahli Lama.  One of the most purely spiritual people on this planet, we are lucky he is here.  If we could all only be a bit more like him the planet would be a better place.
