About Me
I am a mother of 3 beautiful childen, teacher, love teaching, cooking, reading, movies, being outside or front-porch chillin' when the weather is nice, or even bearable; too many things I wish I had more time for. I am generally a very happy and upbeat person. I lived too much of my life allowing myself to be defined by others and am determined to live the rest of my life with intention and joy. I am an ADD procrastinator. I love to learn!!!
Interests
books books books; movies; buying stuff to fix up--furniture, knicknacks; things that most would call junk that can be made into other things; ; sewing; hiking; gardening; beading; playing with my kids!!! Working on my house (MY!!) house slooowwly but surely.

Support Groups
Close Breakups & Divorce
I filed for divorce which was finalized almost a year ago. I went into therapy to deal with depression and anxiety, much of which I began to acknowledge were based in my marriage. My husband and I went into therapy together, which made matters worse, mainly b/c by the time we got there, I think it was too late for me. We share custody of the kids but I've got lots of mourning to process, i think.
