    • About Me

      I have been married 25 years to the most incredible man on earth.We have one son who is so wonderful.I'm so blessed for how much they love me and have stuck with me. I'm stronger today because of my fight with bipolar and addictions.7 years of sobriety ROCKS!I'm getting better at letting people get closer.After my sister died, my Mom said we were like turtles without our shells.My shell has grown back but now I must learn to peak out more often :-)The best things my Dad & Mother taught me were to not judge others and to love everybody, not just the easy to love ones.My Sister had the biggest heart of anyone I have or ever will know.She was the greatest big sister on earth.Can't wait to see them all again when my time comes.
