About Me	Always a philosopher.. A dreamer added in for good measure :) Currently, I am working on a Memoire and a novel. My inspirations are christian based influences, humor, love, second chances, tragedy, family and fate. After I received my degree in Nursing, I took time off to take care of my elderly parents and raise my youngest daughter Brittany. Later on, I humored the idea of getting back into Nursing when my love of writing & poetry took precedence. I started working on my writing passions and dabbled in the field of Creative Writing, Poetry and Magazine Writing ~ see footnote 1). At various times in my life I have thought deeply of someday becoming a Nurse Practioner, but it did not meet my expectations. I was introduced to Organics, Naturopathy and Natural Healing which put a spin on broadening my medical background & love of Natural medicine to pursue a career in Doctor of Naturopathy with double certifications as a Master Herbalist, CNC, and Certified Health Specialist. I am currently researching programs, but none are available in Oklahoma - so, i am waiting for a future opportunity to make that happen. I have since started a children's book and 3 separate novels ( footnote 2) each containing about 4-6 chapters before the projects were either put on hold and/or abandoned. I am now working on my eBay store, which Is allowing me to work at home, and pursue these other avenues of my career and educational choices. I have a wonderful husband Robert, a sweet dog named Emma, three beautiful grandchildren, Lauren, Cohen & Eliana; two intelligent and successful sons Brandon and Tyler, and my amazing and talented daughter Brittany; who is pursuing a degree in Interior Design at UCO ( she is a mini-version of her grand mother Delphine and myself, also known as Karma). I am a very passionate thinker and live life to its fullest... always willing to explore the greatest adventure of my life, ( footnote 3). " You don't have someone else's life and your never going to. You better start loving the one you got. Embrace the life you have and stop wishing that you could be someone else. Just stop all that and start saying "God here I am. Do what you want to do with me" Joyce Meyer ¹ Has not found perfect balance yet. ²...(read more)
