My passions are art, animals, learning, photography, novels, and a few very special people. If I'm not reading you'll find me riding my horse, training my dogs, nature walking, kick boxing, target shooting, scrapbooking, drawing in pencil, assembling collages, & practicing feng shui for my home. I am the mother of three beautiful girls and the oldest one has blessed me with three delightful grandchildren. I share my home with my children's father and a multitude of furry companions, as well as a couple turtles and a parrot. My husband is a clinical psychologist and I am an educator.
