I am a 48y/o living in Texas with my husband. I have two uniquely gifted children that are grown and 5 grandchildren that rock my world!! I worked as an RN for 20 plus years, went back to grad school at 40 for a Masters in Couseling and Psychology, and am currently working in a private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked with a wide variety of individuals including adolescents, military, seniors, MHMR and chemically dependent clients. My current practice will involve working with parents and families who need counseling and education in areas of abuse and parenting. I love to write, wordsmith, and have written and self published a Christian based poetry book titled "Give Them Hope." My lifelong pursuit has been to learn, grow, and share all that God has blessed me with. One thing I know:
"I can do or become nothing without Christ."

My Interests

Jesus, Seeking First The Kingdom of God, and these other things--Understanding Dreams, Books, shopping (unique stores), romantic walks, B&B's, traveling, piano, ukelele, friends, family, investments, self development, oil paintings, poetry and word smithing, board games, creating fun memories, and helping people.

I'd like to meet:


Loving, wise, genuine friends that are passionate for Jesus, souls with holes that want to seek the holy and who are tired of the profane. Hurting, oppressed, and broken hearted individuals that are humble enough to ask for help.

Don't you just Love God's earthly zoo?
Tigers and bears and creatures like you?
What animal might God use to speak about you?

A snake in the grass, a hippo or two,
A sly ole fox or monkeys that muse?
A beaver, a bug, a bird or a bee?

How do you think God sees--
the behaviors that you demonstrate?
A gentile dog or an apostate?
A ravenous wolf that chews up the flocks?
An eagle that soars or a chicken that squawks?

Have you ever wondered what cage you'd be in?
With the laughing hyenas or Porky's pig-pen?
Are you a lion, roaming God's range--
stalking, devouring or clawing the game?
Or are you as gentle as a dove,
or rough as a bull that's had quite enough!

Do you withdraw like a turtle into your shell...
Or wither and die like a salted snail?
Maybe you're a leopard--never changing your spots,
or an aardvark seeking ants in wooded lots.
Maybe a giraffe with such a high, stiff neck...
or a woodpecker pecking where he ought not to peck!

A singing white whale, so content, so strong--
or a mammoth manatee barely floating along?
Maybe you're a porcupine,
sticking and picking people apart--
or maybe a fluffy white sheepie, after God's own heart.

How do you think God sees you
as He looks out over His earthly zoo?
I dare you to ask Him to reveal that to you!

Those that overcome: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us, its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give Other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others
