About

This is my first blog, so please have some grace with me.  I know this will evolve.  Instead of waiting for it to be perfect, I’m going to dive in and begin.  You are free to contact me with any questions or concerns.  I am open and eager to hear your feedback, and you won’t hurt my feelings if you disagree with me, if you are respectful.  This is a safe place to learn and grow without judgment.

If you are interested in learning about me, I will give you a broad overview here, I won’t elaborate much, and more tidbits in each post.  If you have questions, please ask.  I am open to all you have.

For one woman, I have had an inordinate number of unique experiences in my life.  Here is a very quick sample.  I have had approximately 28 addresses.  I went to 9 schools in 12 years, 3 in the 8^th grade.  I worked at Disney World.  I was in the military police in the Air Force.  I worked at Father Flanagan’s Boys Home in Boystown, NE as an Assistant Family Teacher.  We had 10 boys in the home.  I was a surrogate mother, twice, and was featured on Japanese PBS for a surrogacy special.

I taught at a community college for 7 years.  I was the East Coast Customer Service Manager and Traffic Manager at Gerber Baby Food.  While there, I decided to attend tractor-trailer driving school to get my CDL.  I thought that would help me learn about the delivery aspect of the business.  That was an interesting experience. 

For 20 years, I was a stay-at-home mom, and I homeschooled my 2 children.  My 28-year-old son is now air refueling airplanes in the Air Force.  My 13-year-old daughter, Claire, passed away on February 8, 2016.
