CURRENT MISSION

I am hoping to learn from CS friends how to make travel possiable! If I write you I am only looking for info or friendship..Dont be scared.. ;)

ABOUT ME

I am very adventurous and passionate about life! I am quince, eclectic, an extrovert, right brain er! I love to meet people. I have a passion for helping others, (NOT because I am unhappy or co-dependent) just to show others how to be independent, over come anything and not always have to rely on someone. I have been told I am too passionate (Is that possible?) I am full of energy, and life!

PHILOSOPHY

We are all here on Gods earth, respect it and take care of the creatures that do not have a voice to be heard.

Nothing was a bad experience if you learned and grew from it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing..well my entire life has one big amazing event! . I have been a single mom for 16yrs, raised 3 kids without any help from anyone..I mean anyone! My mom didn’t like the kids she had (Me or my 2 brothers 1 sister) She met my kids for the first time when my oldest was 10!!! My brothers and sister were not around to help either (Do to the NOT close family)…So my children have no Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles OR Father that is actively involved in their life. I have been everything they have! As a single parent I worked construction, ran a front end loader, drove a concrete truck and managed to put myself through the police academy to support my children.
Oh I was also shot close range with a 38 CAL hand gun, (Accidentally B4 I was a cop) clean through my leg missing all bones and arteries and then grazed through my hair missing my forehead.. Guess it wasn’t my day to die
Yep have the scar to prove it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share my story if others may benefit from the misfortunes I have suffered. I have lived a life that has made me strong and independent. I have learned to only count on myself, and to never burden others with my problems. I wish to teach others to do the same, and in turn maybe I will learn to trust.
