    About Me

    Hi, my goal here is to find friendship and support, I found this site when I was going through a very hard time dealing with the passing of my beloved cat spencer whome I had loved for 15 beautiful years, he passed away on new years eve and it truely devestated me and truely broke my heart. I have since adopted another cat from the humaine society, a beautiful 2 year old boy that does not in any way replace Spencer but fills by lonely heart with much needed joy. I still miss my boy but have been finding alot of support. I suffer with depression and anxioty and I was traumatized as a child with both physical and sexual abuse and because of that suffer from ptsd, it has been a real battle for me to be here today, it has taken alot of courage and strength to be able to get through all the saddness, depression, fear, and insecurities but I have been seeking help for years and keep my emotions under control with meds. I do find great joy in the fact that I am an artist and create beautiful art, I sculpt faeries and mermaids out of clay, the people who adopt them truely love them and that gives my heart much joy. I suffer much physical pain too, I was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease "Scleroderma" 4 years ago, it is a scary illness and causes alot of pain and fear and adds too the depression, I have found that the easiest way to overcome these challenges is too reach out to others for help and advise and friendship, this is my main reason for being here, I truely hope to find others that can be supportive and others that I can be there for as well, what makes life beautiful is the beautiful hearted people that share in it!

    Interests

    I love anything magical and fantasy, dragons, faeries, pixies, sprites, elves, unicorns, merfolk, castles....and the list goes on and on! I am an artist and enjoy art, especially fantasy art! I love animals and children ( I was unable to have children due to my illness so my babies are my two cats!) I am very interested in depression support and scleroderma support and the fight against child abuse and pet abuse, no child or pet should ever be mistreated!
