I love the serenity of painting. I am a life learner. I am a mother and grandmother and sister and a daughter; I am a partner to my husband in building a life and a future. I love my home and gardent. My daughter is my heart and my grand-daughter is my laughter. Work is my passion and school is my self growth. I write books for kids in middle school. Life is about giving back the blessing you receive, dancing when there is no music, and basking in the glow of the out doors. I adore my relationships with everyone in my life. I miss the people who drop out of my life for whatever reason they leave it. My heart isn't heavy with regret or with hate. I am tired from the hope I have that gets lost, but my hope continues.
