About Me
LOVE LIFE, LAUGHTER, FAMILY AND FRIENDS joyful spirit, generous heart, extremely loyal and very sensitive. Tend to be a nurturer(aka rescuer)which sometimes means I spend more time helping others with their lives than helping myself with my own. I am a problem solver extraordinaire, partly due to being almost a half a century old EGAD! and mostly, because I have been through a lot myself on several different levels. HERE BECAUSE LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS PEACHY KEEN AND HURTS MORE THAN MERE WORDS EXPRESS

Interests
I love to read, cook, play online scrabble, theater and concerts, travel, crossword puzzles, play board games, card games, charades, bubble baths, canoeing, swimming, fishing, needlepoint, cross stitch, cruises, an occasional spa day, sandy beaches, hearing the tide wash in and out, moonlit nights, gazing at the stars, dancing, music of almost any kind, walking myself and my dogs...hmm you get the idea. I would like to learn to kayak, roller blade or go on a mission trip. I would enjoy traveling to different countries and experiencing different cultures.

Sorry I have not been on here much, but have started my new job at the school(teaching assistant) and its going realy well. I work with two boys one age 7 and the other age 10, they both have dyslexia like me, The 10 year old would not even look at me in the class room, but now he always smiles and says thank you for helping him.The 7 year lod on the other hand still dont want to look at me, but I'm hoping to change that this week for he needs to learn his alpabet and for this he needs a one to one and thats me, so hopefuly he too will get to like me in the same way. I love this job and its made such a difference to the way I see myself, not just dyslexic but knowing I can do some good and pass on my confidence. HUGS AA
