~I am a fairly down to earth and easy going kind of gal...I love all things natural...I am originally from Calif. I miss it! I lived in places like Cypress, Huntington Beach and Garden Grove as well as Westminster, Long Beach and Lakewood too. I even lived up north in Marin County for a bit..( my family was into real estate). I came to Idaho with my husband and kids in 1995.
~I currently work at a psychiatric/behavior health facility as a nurse....I recently quit my second job, I was working in a long term care (convalescent) unit as well, but could not continue to work two jobs as it was too hard on me physically...Especially since my shifts (like most nurses) are usually 12-14hours long...
~I have a lot of personal issues like we all do... My dad suffers from BPD and my mom suffered from a few things as well...mainly PTSD. I suffer from a bit of social paranoia (but I keep it in check)..though it can be hard sometimes...but I just have to keep reminding myself that 'It's none of my business what other people think of me'...Well, it's true~
~ I needed an outlet for all the bottled up emotions I have accumulated over the years and I am so glad to have found this site...Thank you for having me here.....
~I want to live this life in color not in black and white. And I want to live it the best that I can; after all, we are only here for a short while -and then..well, we move on to the next level...or do we? It's all a matter of perception, right? Well, anyway the one thing I have learned is that:
"All things are temporary" The good the bad the pain and even the love.....
Favorite quote is: 'All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. " By Edgar A. Poe
