    • About Me

      Hey! I am a creative, energetic and driven fortyish year old mother of two exceptional teens. I am married to a wonderful man who wears a uniform and keeps us all safe. I have some health problems which have added to my weight gain. I am more than 100 pounds overweight and quit drinking in feb 2006. I attend meetings to help with the not drinking. It was suggested to check out DailyStrength. We all need a little help! Some of us are more sick then others... and some need a bit more help and support than others.
