I am so grateful to be alive today. My life has evolved so much in the last few years and every new curve; every hill…every mile of my journey continues to amaze me. Everyday I am humbled with new revelations as I catch glimpses of myself and the woman I am becoming, and although I still encounter obstacles occasionally; they have become challenges instead of barriers for me and with each challenge I continue to grow.
People seem to want to know more about me as a person so here I go… I'm into spiritual growth, ancient mysteries really intrigue me, antiques,thrift stores and flea markets are a passion, and I love candles & aromatherapy.  I love things that expand my mind. I strive to live in balance on a daily basis.
 I prefer to surround myself with people who are positive and will accept me for who I am and who feel that my life is as valuable and important as their life..basically relationships based on mutual love and respect.
I stand up for what I feel is right,(“that will probably get me into trouble at some point”)
 Trust me, I'm not perfect by no means, (but we won't go there). I live for today, for my recovery, my daughters & granadbabies, and I associate with a bunch of insane sober people who are the best crew of eathlings I've ever known. Some people love me, others dislike me, and some just tolerate me, but they're all thinkin' about me just the same.
I believe you change for two reasons; either you learn enough that you want to, or you've been hurt enough that you have to. Basically, I am a very “cool' laid back lady that is not into drama, labels or mind games. I would hardly call myself “simple” or “ordinary” and many would agree with that, but I am neither  unique. I am a deep thinker with a sensitive soul. I am funny with a warm and witty sense of humor. I like to laugh and life is just too heavy and intense if we remain serious all the time.
What bugs me? people who don't use their minds, who don't listen, those who choose to remain in ignorance, and anyone who would hit an animal or a child, and mothers who yell and scream at their children in the store or mall. Indifference, apathy, cruelty of any type anger me.

What scares me? The moral direction & decline of our society, relapse, being alone the rest of my life.
Passions.. Recovery, working with women & children who have been traumatized as a result of abuse, making a difference, broadening my horizons, spiritual enlightenment, changing the world.
 Life is beautiful in recovery and living clean & sober is a gift I would not trade for anything that anyone could offer me.. I just never imagined my life could be as it is today. I've been restored from ashes to beauty, and gone from broken into beautiful. It is all because of God's unfailing grace and mercy. It's about transformation on a daily basis. Today I am truly becoming the butterfly. “How does one become a butterfly?” you ask pensively? “You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”
