I have so many interests.
God then my children (and their spouses...which have become my children also!) and my ten grandchildren (One of which is in heaven because of SIDS). They are my heart and my life. Family and friends are very important to me. Relationships are the only thing that matters in life...as material things go away.I have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, GERD, a hiatal hernia, sleep apnea, myofascial pain to name a few things going on with me. The docs have said I have Lupus, but, the test never shows positive, so, sometimes I have symptoms and sometimes not, I have never been treated for it, but they watch. I NEVER give up on myself or others!!! I am a positive person and I will do what it takes to help the doctors and to help myself. I have bad days, but, I don't let those days get me down. I go on. And I try to help and teach others to do the same.I am very blessed as a women, mom, and nana. I couldn't have asked for more in my life. All my children and grandchildren have made me proud in so many ways. From being good mothers and fathers, and being responsible adults (most of the time...LOL) to just being good people. Hopefully the teaching about "Jesus as Lord", & doing unto others, and taking care of the earth and those less able to take care of themselves has made them what they are. And I hope and pray that it goes on and on for generations to come.Everyone of my children and grandchildren have something special about them and hope they realize that within themselves. I have a daughter that is a youth pastor's wife and another daugther that is a Navy wife. God and politics are spoken in our house...LOL. One of my grandson's had Kawasaki's Disease and another had Gillian-Barre. I have cousins who have had different types of cancer, some have survived and others didn't. I have one cousin that has MS. And a cousins child who is autistic. The husband I am separated from has sarcoidosis.I am interested in learning new things, ethnic foods(all are good, but I love Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Greek, Pizza, Hamburgers and Hotdogs,seafood, steak. Just good food. I love cooking, learning about cultures and spiritual things. I have an interest in Israel and Messianic Judism. I have many Jewish and Messianic Jewish friends. I am into learning about alternative health, and many of the alternatives to western medicine.
I do Tai Chi and Reiki. I like reading about HUNA. I love learning about Native Americans and have many Native Americans that I call my friends and family. I have learned so much from them. Wolves and Eagles are very special to me, as is being by water. All my NA family and friends and those who know me in real life, know what I am talking about. I am also very interested in the Asian culture and learn more as time goes on. Am also interested in MUSIC, dance, theater, comedy, crafts, collecting pigs, butterflies, angels, salt and pepper shakers, wolves. I like looking at stars, old cars, going to fairs and flea markets and reading, watching old movies, and "cop" things. I love candles and being by water and walking by a beach. Dolphins, oceans, seashells, nature (growing flowers, trees and gardens) are fun. Animals, especially wolves, but also any animal (horses, dogs, etc)..especially my cats make me a very, very happy person. As for sports, I love watching hockey...Blackhawks baby. Baseball...Da Sox. Football...Da Bears. And Basketball..Da Bulls.

I'm complex, yet simple. But it doesn't take that much to make me a happy girl. And most days I am!!!!I was adopted, and found my birth families. I was raised Italian and talk with my hands (LOL), but, birth-wise, I am Jewish and Irish. Interesting mix...LOL!!!! I have three sisters (who are half Japanesse..on birth mothers side). One is a Nurse, One has a wolf refuge and one works at a restaurant. All three live in different states then I do. My birthmother didn't marry my birthfather, and had the three other girls from the husband she married afterward. And I have three sisters and a brother...(on birth fathers side) I don't keep in touch with them (as it was thier choice) I did with my brother for some time and we lost touch and I do wish that he would come back into my life. My birthfather was in the Air Force for the Korean war. He married another women and had the three girls and a boy. I was the only child that came out of the union of my birthmother and birthfather and the rest of the half sisters and brothers are all younger then I am.
But, the parents who raised me are the ones I consider my REAL mother and father. My mom was a homemaker, my dad was a newspaper truckdriver (YEAH TEAMSTERS!!!) He was also a marine from WWII. He was wounded in the pacific. I also had a brother who was adopted, but he died from Burkett's Lymphoma a week before he was 21 years old. After my mom died from leukemia, my dad remarried and moved to FL. So I gained my step-mother, and she had two sons, who are my step-brothers. Both are much older then myself and I don't have much contact with them. Oh well, their loss. My father died 11 years ago from Kaposi Sarcoma, and my stepmother has since passed a few months ago. Anyway, both my mother and father came from LARGE families so I had LOTS of uncles and aunts (all died except for one aunt on dad's side and one aunt on mom's side) and many cousins (who I am my brother were the youngest). Family was and still is very important to me.TO ALL THAT HAVE GONE TO HEAVEN, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU EACH DAY. JACOB, my sweet angel grandson, MY MOM AND DAD, EDDIE - my brother, MY GRANDPARENTS, AUNTS, UNCLES, COUSINS, GOOD FRIENDS - PATTY, BILLY, BIG JOE, ROSIE, AND CHUBS. AND ALSO MY BIRTH PARENTS & OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT THEM. BUT I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE TIME I HAD WITH EACH OF THEM..THEY HAVE TOUCHED MY HEART AND SOUL. THE MEMORIES MAKE ME SMILE BUT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TEARS FLOWING IN MY HEART.

Courtesy of SparkleTags.comCauses that interest me...breast cancer awareness, SIDS awareness and Autism awareness. Asthma awareness, Lupus,MS, Leukemia and lymphoma awareness, Kaposi Sarcoma and Burkett's Lymphoma. Diabetes, Sarcoidosis, Ruematoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Myofascial Pain. And, I want people to be aware of Kawasaki Disease. I'm against Domestic Violence and Child Abuse and want everyone to realize that these problems are everywhere and we all need to fight against it. If you are going through things, you are NOT alone. There IS hope and there is light at the end of the tunnel. You just need to reach out your hand....I worked for the state for many, many years, and was very involved in politics, locally, statewide and nationally and worked with and for my union (IFPE- Local 4408), which I was on the executive board for many years. I also was a part time police officer for about five years. I have learned so much. And have much more to learn. I am very blessed.I am home on medical leave after many years of working two jobs. I am now searching for a home based business or work at home job. I will keep looking until the right "fit" comes about.More Videos
I'd like to meet:
Well, I have met the most important person already and that is Jesus Christ.
MySpace Glitter GraphicsBut as for others: People who have passions, beliefs, and live their lives for those passions. Meeting people and talking with them and learning about them is so interesting. People who give their life for others, like Mother Theresa....so many people of interest. I have actually met some of the most interesting people, just in a restaurant, or shopping. I am sure Jesus puts people in my life. I hope I am a light to others.I'd also like to meet and be mentored by someone who works at home and can teach me/lead me through the steps to sucess. Anything that is not a scam.

Music:
MySpace Glitter GraphicsI like many different types. Music makes me alive. It speaks to my soul. I live with music on around me all the time. A bit of background. I used to listen to my transistor radio under my pillow at night. (Gosh, is that dating me...LOL!!) And I was the odd kid from the suburbs that used to listen to WVON in Chicago. But listening to that station, and WLS and WCFL it gave me such a love of music.One of my son-in-law's is a DJ (DJ Scream) and he has played with and for the best of old school/Hip-Hop people, lots from Chicago area (like Do or Die, Twista, and Crucial Conflict, to name a few). He has toured the country. He has made his own "mixes" of music and music is in his heart (as it is in mine).Motown and Smokey Robinson will always be in my heart. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and that era of singers were what I grew up on. And Italian music. I also like soft rock and easy listening. Eva Cassidy is definately a songbird and Norah Jones is someone I like to "relax" to. I like oldies (50's, 60's), I like most classic rock, 70's, 80's and some hip-hop. I LOVE Blues, Jazz and R&B/Soul. Eric Clapton, BB KING, Stevie Ray. And Hawaiian, especially Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. And I like Christian Music and Gospel. Some Country music too. Each type speaks to me in a different way.I am finding people on the myspace websites that I had never heard of before. To me, those are golden nuggets and treasures. Because music touches my life, and my soul, and when I find something new, it makes me happy. "myspace" has allowed me to find many artists I would have never knew exsisted.My very favorite artist in the present is Chazz Dixon. He is a great singer, entertainer and a really good person and good friend. Check him out...he is on my friend list.

Television:
Many years ago (when I was 5 years old), I went to CA and to Disneyland. We saw stars in Hollywood and met Dean Martin, who kissed me on the check...and also met Edd Byrnes "Kookie"(77 Sunset Strip), who also kissed me, and wanted my parents to put me into "the movies". Que Sera, Sera....my life didn't take that path. But, it's been quite a journey.I watch Law and Order, SVU and CI; CSI-Vegas, Miami and NY, Without a Trace; NCIS; Crossing Jordon; Cold Case and Cops (Do you see a pattern here???....LOL)I also like Judging Amy and some of the reality shows on VH1, even though the reality shows drive me nuts...can't stop watching the "dramatics". It's like potatoe chips....just can't stop with one.Steve Martin - King Tut (SNL)
