I’m a simple woman with a “glass half full” perspective on life & the world around us. I’ve definitely not had an easy life & frankly have suffered some very cruel circumstances. However, even in the most difficult of times, I learned how to be a better person. Those who have blatantly mistreated me or hurt me mentally, physically & emotionally, have actually given me a valuable lesson. They taught me who NOT to be. I’ve been very much alone in my life in the past & I never want another person to feel the way I have. With that perspective, I go about my life doing everything in my power to spread kindness & encouragement. A simple smile, the desire to offer compassion & understanding, and genuine concern, can make all the difference in the lives of others around us. I hope I make a positive impact on anyone I am lucky enough to meet!

On a fun note, I have a lot of varying interests, as well. I collect dragons and fantasy art. That has been a passion of mine since my first trip to the local Renaissance festival. I also get incredibly excited about old cars, airshows, and photography of all kinds. I’m also very interested in pinup style. Sometimes I joke that I should have been born in that time because I find the style and the women absolutely stunning!

I'm also growing my own business where I make Chainmaille and Scalemaille jewelry. This is a new passion and I hope to grow it into a successful business over time.
