First and Foremost I am a Woman of Strength and Deep Conviction...

I view life as something of great importance and thus never take a single day for granted... I choose to live my life based on Honor, Honesty, and Loyalty to those to whom I make Commitments, and as such I do tend to expect others who enter into my life as friends or business associates to possess those characteristics as well...

I am college educated having both an MSW and PhD in Psychology and Behavioral Sciences from Holy Cross College in Massachusetts and a Masters in Business Administration from Vanderbilt University in Tennessee...

I do a great deal of volunteer work in the Domestic and Child Abuse fields for an area Battered Women's Shelter, and make a modest living as a graphic artist and web designer.

Although I am a parapelegic as a result of a broken neck, I live quite independently and have a fairly normal life for the most part... I still play and enjoy a good game of Tennis or Basketball, love to ride horseback, swim on a regular basis and own and maintain (4) four businesses... I cook, sew, garden, maintain my own home, play a keyboard, bass guitar, pedal steel guitar, classical piano, dulcimer and the clarinet as well as composing music... So I guess You could say the world didn't come to an end simply because I no longer have the ability to walk...

A Wheelchair is by no means the end of the world, and I personally believe we must each live life on lifes terms even if they are not so great.
