CURRENT MISSION To get my parents where they can live together again ABOUT ME Friendly, kind, energetic, spiritual, patient. Those are some ways people have described me. I'm also a licensed electrician, business owner, wife, mother and grandmother. PHILOSOPHY Every one of us has a sphere of influence that effects those we are in contact with for positive or negative. Our words and actions can create change in every person we are privileged to be in the presence of. I am a vehicle in this world for blessing or cursing just by my own decisions.

Took over family business of Electric Sign Company.
Teach, Learn, Share
As a woman who is a licensed electrician, it is not often that I meet another woman with this status. I'm writing a book about how I raised my children as they all turned out so successful so child rearing is a strength of mine. (This was by popular demand.) I'd love to learn more about blogging as my publisher wants me to blog and get a following for two years before we venture into publishing.
My Interests
My husband Don and I have seven grown children. We are busy with our sign business but also are very active at our church. We love being with our grandchildren and going camping when we can.
