CURRENT MISSION

HELPING AND UNDERSTANDING OTHERS

ABOUT ME

GIVING, FRIENDLY, OUTGOING
MY HUSBAND AND I BELONGED TO TWO BED AND BREAKFAST CLUBS FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND HOSTED PEOPLE FROM SEVERAL PARTS OF THE U.S. AND NORTHERN IRELAND. WE ALSO STAYED AT SEVERAL U.S. LOCATION INCLUDING SEATTLE, WA.; THE HARTFORD, CT. AREA. NEAR L.A., CA.; BOONE, NC., AND ARIZONA. I WAS UNABLE TO HOST FOR A FEW YEARS WHILE MY DECEASED HUSBAND WAS ILL, BUT LOOK FORWARD TO HOSTING AND BEING HOSTED AGAIN SOON.

PHILOSOPHY

TO TRY TO SEEK AND EXPECT THE BEST IN OTHERS. I TRUST GOD TO FURNISH ANSWERS TO MANY THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE, BUT WORK TO CHANGE OR IMPROVE THOSE THAT I CAN AFFECT. WHEN DO WE LET GO AND LET GOD!?
