    • About Me

      I am a hair-dresser of 34 years, started when I was 18. Alot has happened since I was so young, I am 53 yrs. old divorced 17 yrs. I have 2 sons, and 2 grandchildren.I also have a serious eye disease that is being treated with avastin injections and it is starting to go into remission. I sew, upholstry, read, and help other people. I also went back to college when I was 43 and got my degree, in health information. I am now an Employment Consultant for Child Adult Resourses. I still cut hair in my salon that is at my home. I will never give that up. I never thought when I got a divorce that I was going to achieve all of these goals in life, but it can be done, if you want it bad enough.
