I am a friendly introvert. I'm an artist. I love to write and dream of authoring a book one day. I'm very interested in human nature, both my own self unfolding and the life experiences of others. Daily I get to care for my adult daughter who has an intellectual disability and is one of the most inspiring people I know. I attend a spiritually based support group so I can remain free of my past addictions. I am intentional about maintaining my mental health. I am a resilient survivor of violence and poor decisions, now finally enjoying peace and a bit of wisdom learned the hard way.
