About Me
"Life and death is in the power of the tounge." I am a born again christian and love The Lord with all my heart and mind. I am researching all I can about Natural Healing of the body and mind. I love people! Please..... no friend requests unless I have met you on a board here and we have gotten to know each other. This step will keep me from having to delete friends that have no interest in really being friends in the true sense of the word.
Interests
I have many interests. First and foremost I am a born again christian and have a very strong relationship with The Lord. I love animals and nature. I have a chihuahua named Hallie who is my baby girl and I am very attached to her. I have 5 grand doggies, all chihuahuas, some of them pictured in my photos. I am learning photography and also about to start a home business. I enjoy helping others in any way I am able to. My other interests are way too many to list here.

Close Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia after failing to recover from 2 bad falls. I was unable to work for 4 years before I was finally approved for social security disability insurance payments. Also type 2 diabetic, hep C, DDD, spinal stenosis, CMP, herniated discs. Was homeless for a while b/c lost my home due to no income. I have overcome all with God's help. 1 grown daughter, one 5 year old spoiled rotten chihuahua and 5 grandchihuahua's.

Close Chronic Pain
I have Severe DDD , fibro, diabetes II, hep c, CMP and arthritis, all pretty much under control except for the DDD. I live in chronic pain 24/7. It is in my lower back and the area between my shoulders. I am single, hubby could not deal with my illnesses.. I have no support with family, my daughter seems to think I'm a burden and makes no bones about saying so. I just lost my mother to cancer this week. (july 4, 2008) so I am very much alone with this. I do have some wonderful DS friends.
