You might ask "What is your story"?

I am a simple girl living in a complicated world.

I am the middle child of 3 having 2 brothers.  I am self employed as a consultant helping non profit organizations raise money for their cause.


I love to create! I love transformation. I really do not care to go shopping but I enjoy the thrill of thrift shopping, finding a good deal. I enjoy singing, song writing, photography and camping with my family..... I have a deep love for Jesus, he is the keeper of my heart! He is my provider, healer, peace, joy, He is my Savior and Lord.


My husband and I own and operate a health and wellness business as well as a Self Defense and computer biz.  So we have many irons in the fire.  In today's world you have to create your own economy.

I love spending time with my family........................

 My mom and dad live in the same town as me.

My younger brother and his wife lives in California........................ My brother is a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force.  He flys the U2.

I have an older brother and his wife lives not far from me.

I am married to prince charming, Barry~~ aka my hunk-el-barry

My husband Barry is amazing, he is my partner in DIY crime. If I need or want something done he will figure out a way to do it to save us the $$.

He is a Kenpo Self Defense instructor, as well as a computer IT guy.

Hubby= Barry (aka) my Hunk-el-Barry

 I have 4 handsome young sons. 

My first born were twins Brad & Aaron........2 minutes apart to be exact

No I did not want their names to rhyme (they now thank me for this). 

Brad was the first born weighing in at 4 lbs 12 ozs, then Aaron weighing in at 4lbs.

Aaron & Brad Then

Aaron & Bradley

Now keep in mind back in the 80's we did not have the fancy digital cameras. 

I spent hours when Aaron, baby # 2 got married scanning all the pictures of the kids onto my PC.

Ah, I so miss them being small.   Now the twins are all grown up and married.

I then had my 3rd son, Jared born 4 years later, yes I braved pregnancy praying I did not have twins again.

Don't get me wrong it was worth every minute but lot's of work, I did survive.

Jared is still waiting on Miss. Right and he graduated from The Ramp School of Ministry.
