    • About Me

      I spent 12 years trying to isolate myself to avoid the pain people caused me and the pain of my past... it never worked. Now I'm making friends and have finally found a man I trust and am ready to spend my life with. Life is so much better now.

    • Interests

      I am an artist. I love to read and write. And I love to go out dancing with friends. I love all kinds of music! One of my favorite things to do is go cruising in my car, with the music turned up and the windows down... especially when I need to think over a problem.

    • Close Sexual Abuse

      Sexual abuse from age 5-17 by babysitters, Uncle, then Father. Keep putting myself in abusive relationships. From 25 - 37 stopped dating. Now, just getting back into the world!. Now I'm still dealing with low self esteem, insecurity and trust issues. Hope to learn thru sharing here.

      Depression due to sexual abuse. Have times where all I want to do is sleep. Actually, if I'm not diligent, there are times where I will sleep and go to work and that is all.
