    About Me

    I am a mother of 5, trying again to get divorce final. I normally work in a SNF social services. I say just go ahead and live my life. have been diagnosised with MS, hyperparathyroidism, problems with thyroid I struggle with my weight, did I mentionn menopause, a survivor of childhood rape by a stranger as I was walking home from school. Most of all I am very strong and will not let any of this defeat me.

    Interests

    reading, movies, needle crafts and I hope to continue writing and to improve at it. my children my grandkids(3), passions include chocolate, wine coffee and shopping-I fancy myself as somewhat of a pro shopper, fighting the prejudices towards the mentally ill and other diseases that we often snub are noses at or judge. I have fought long and hard for my son he has battled long with epilepsy. I also love working with the elderly we need to honor all they have done.
