A little about me.
Hello world :) Who is this person who sits
before you? Well, I am a conglomeration of many different
beings......a mom, a friend, a teacher, a learner, a gather of
facts, an entertainer, a philosopher, a counselor, a confidant, a
creator, a believer, a lover, a child....and so much more.
The main focus of my life up to this point
has been children. I have two sons, Steven, 18 years and Chris,
13 years. I have taught preschool for almost 10 years and I love
being near and with people of those years. THEY ARE THE MOST
INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH :) ("A child
will lead them" "You must become like a little child to
enter the Kingdom of Heaven") Currently, I am working at a
retail position waiting for an answer to an application made to
Graduate School.
As much as I love working and being with
children, unfortunately, I can no longer make enough money to
live. I am a divorced woman in her 40's who was married for over
22 years. I reaped the benefits of my husband being in the Navy
with all kinds of benefits, and now I have none. It is a sad
state of affairs in our country when a good teacher can make more
money standing and running items through a scanner than to be
touching hundreds of lives for eternity. Wouldn't you agree? But
this is life, right? So, as a result of all my adult life and my
experiences as a working being, I have come to realize that I
must have a talent for 'people management' and 'problem solving'
because no matter what type of job I have had, I have always
ended up working as a laison between management and the lower
ranks. I love being able to help both sides come to an agreement.
And it is for this reason that I am applying to Ball State
University in the Graduate School of Applied Psychology. I hope
to go into Industrial Psychology where I can use this 'talent'.
It has not been easy getting in, mainly because, when I was in
college (many many years ago) I was there to have fun and not to
apply myself and do to that. My GPA is too low according to the
school's standards. Soooooooooooooooo, now I must 'sell' myself
as a probationary student. And do my best in order to create a
future for myself. IF YOU ARE IN COLLEGE NOW, PLEASE, PLEASE
CONSIDER HOW VERY IMPORTANT YOUR GPA IS!!!! It is something that
you shouldn't take lightly. Well, that's my preaching for now :)
I have also spent over 3 years as a phone
counselor for a Suicide and Crisis Center. I love this type of
work..... the stress, the unexpectedness of each situation, the
learning about others and self, and the realization that maybe 'I
don't have it as bad as I think' are all reasons that the
experience has been good for me. The training was the best thing
I have ever gone through. It taught me that I have boundaries and
that I must use them, not only to help others realize themselves
and theirs, but also to protect me. For most of my life I was a
woman who could not say 'no'. I guess I am allot like you, right?
But now I understand that it is not 'healthy' for me to say 'yes'
all the time to all people. I thank God that I had this wonderful
experience with helping people in this way.......I helped myself
through them :)
I was born and raised in the small town of
Piqua, Ohio. I went to college in Anderson, Indiana. I was
married during my years there and followed my husband back to
Ohio where he was a Youth Minister. After a few years he enlisted
in the Navy and we spent almost 14 years in Hawaii, (MY SPIRITUAL
HOME!) We then moved to Silverdale, Washington where he was then
stationed at The Puget Sound Naval Base. Our divorce happened and
I met someone and am back in Anderson, Indiana.
I wanted to return to the subject of Hawaii
for a few minutes......it is THE most wonderful place on Earth!!!
It is my SPIRITUAL Home. I don't know if you know what that is,
so I will tell you what it means to me.....it is the only place
on Earth that I feel 'connected' to the land, the air, the very
being of the environment. I feel such peace and love and joy
there. And you ask, "Then why aren't you back there?"
Simply because it is very expensive. To put it bluntly. But,
really.....when I am on the east coast of Oahu, and I look out
over the wonderful ocean and back at the beautiful mountains, it
truly is as if I am in Heaven sitting at the feet of God. I hope,
if you have never been there, that you will be able to travel to
MY most special place and see what I mean. Now, just because it
is MY spiritual home, does not mean it is YOURS and I understand
that. YOU have to become aware of your HOME just as I have. It is
a grand adventure and if you would like more information, just email me. I love talking and helping
others discover their place on this planet.
Some of my most favorite things, besides my
own children and those of others, are of course any thing dealing
with angels, counted cross stitch, reading suspense novels, or
anything about Heaven, walking, and generally, anything where I
can be creative :)
Well, I guess that about sums it up about
me. I am constantly changing and evolving into what I hope is a
better person. One that is useful to self and others around. :) I
love being able to share with you!
