In the past 17 years I have been asked by more people than I can count to write a book. I have a very hard time sitting still for very long and I am not at all computer savvy, so I decided that I would try my hand at writing a blog. Short little excerpts each day about me, my life, how I got to where I am, what I have learned along the way, and the truths that I hold fast to.
Who am I???
I am 43 years old woman, I currently live in Oak View California with my youngest son, my oldest daughter, my grandson, and my husband. My husband and I have been married for 11 1/2 years, our children range in ages from 10 all the way up to 24 years old. We raised our kids on the North shore of Oahu and still own our home there in Waialua. Oahu is “home” but life has us in southern California right now and I cannot complain. My husband works in the movie industry as a “stunt guy”, so we travel a ton. I stay home so that I can home school my youngest son and boy is it challenging!
I love hot coffee in the morning, I love a clean house, all the time, I love my kids and my husband, I love to sing, talk and exercise! I love people, all types! I love the diversity among our different life stories and that we can always glean knowledge from one another experiences.
In this life I have been crushed by impossible heartbreak and loss and I have been mended through unconditional love and forgiveness!
