I live in a small town in deep East Tx near the Arkansas Louisiana border.  I'm in the Ark-LA TX.  I have two beautiful grown daughters that I love dearly!  I teach special needs students.  Love my job!  I am separated from husband of 37 years-long time in coming.  I am finally a little freer and am working my way into being "ME".  What an adventure!!!

my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?

Sort of wandered around sometimes but was very interested in people and felt life had excitement every day in some way.

How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?

This one is easy!   Exactly 10 years ago I thought I could never live without my husband.  Now I know I can and I am doing it quite well!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Maybe in a smaller house, little lawn to keep, and a special guy to keep me company.  Not necessarily married but with someone. Healthy and happy where ever I happen to be! Doing a little travel would be really NICE!!  More secure with ME!

a postcard to my younger self

Please, realize that you are beautiful and that mothers are not always right about everything.  Be awake when making decisions.  Have FUN and don't be so serious.  Live by yourself for a few years before considering marriage and maybe get a snip of fingernail or hair for a DNA test before marriage! 

my role models

My Mom for sure!  She was strong and always prevailed.  Miss her greatly since she passed away in December.
