About Me

Hi ~ My name is Birdy. I am married (27 years ~ in February~) to my wonderful husband, Kevin. We have two very dear and talented sons, Chris & Robert ... and a loving but spoiled "daughter" with a big nose... Hope, our Labrador. This past August I became a GRANDMOTHER and I LOVE IT! We have been blessed with sweet Alana Rose!
I have several passions ~ art, writing, photography and singing... I continue to keep my art, writing and photography alive... but, sadly, I haven't done any singing in a long time.
I work with adults and children as an adaptive aquatics instructor~ helping to give them a better quality of life and better mobility. I'm blessed to be able to work with some amazing people and as it turns out they help give me a better quality of life and better mobility as well!
I was born in the beautiful hills of Wheeling WV way back in the day. I had a fun & interesting childhood that included going "on the road" for a few years with my parents. Dad was a jazz musician (pianist) and we got to travel to some great places before ending up in Atlanta when I was a teen.
Life here is sometimes stressful... but good. Every morning when my Lab Hope wakes up she is full of excitement... she welcomes the day with a dance and reminds me with her dance ~ that "the day is full of possibilities!" I take Hope's que on life ... each day is full of possibilities. And with that we keep moving forward.
