Myspace Backgrounds I am a very creative person with a helper personality. I like to draw, paint and write poetry.I take care of 2 crazy cats. My children are all grown up. Being in the outdoors is very spiritual to me. I love the mountains.My dream house is a cabin in the woods. I'm just an old hippie. I like good, intelligent conversation over a glass of wine. I'm a balanced bipolar. I just received my certification as a Kentucky Peer Support Specialist. Right now I help people with mental illness find their road to recovery. I devote a lot of my time to learning more about bipolar disorder, helping others stay balanced. So far, so good. Balance is bliss.
