    • About Me

      Im 53 years old, divorced with 2 grown children. I was diagnosed with graves disease in early Nov of 2007. My symptoms began 2 weeks before diagnosis. My eyes have been the biggest challenge. I am presently in remission with my Graves and TED. I still suffer from some muscle aches but other that I feel great. My good days far out weight my bad days.

    • Open Life After Divorce

      Starting over at the age of 53 and afraid my life will be loveless for the rest of my life. Have since realized life is what you make it. I have a lot to offer especially to myself!

    • Open Breakups & Divorce

      I am now divorced for the second time to the same man. I did my best to make it work but could not do it alone. I have walked away knowing I did all I could do. I bought a wonderful little house by the ocean where I live with my 2 dogs and cat. Life is good. I hope some day I will meet someone who will appreciate who I am and love me for it.
