About Me

I'm a 37- year old University Student working on my Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations. I'm a Survivor of Ovarian and Uterine Cancer. I'm a Native American. The disability that I live with is Spastic Quad Cerebral Palsy. My Permobil wheelchair is nicknamed "Jaws" and My 1998 Ford Van is "Betsy". She was bought used as a gift from several of my family members so that I wouldn't have to sit at bus stops in the freezing cold Michigan weather just so that I could get to classes at University. I love music, travel, I'm Bilingual, I like to read shakespeare and lots of other interesting books including romance novels and books on spirituality and philosophy. I like to swim and would love to learn to fly an airplane.

Hobbies and Interests

 Well, let's see.... I collect spoons, teddy bears and cookbooks. I love to cook, knit, and sew. I love to write, I write poetry and am currently working on a script that may turn into a film or a children's book. I have two cats that allow me to pay rent so they can live in my apartment.

 Entertainment-- I love to travel, meditation yoga, swimming, music I really have a great time at concerts-- I've seen everyone from Barry Manilow and John Denver to Ricky Martin and Tim McGraw, board games, web design, I'm a Trekkie and a Trekker-- I'd say that I'm human, betazoid, vulcan and klingon. Soap Operas, Everything on ABC, &Days of our LivesYoung and RestlessI love food and the Food Network.

Everything except Rap... I'll only listen to that if it doesn't sound angry or violent

CSI, Monk, Charmed, Ghost whisperer.. the list goes on forever

Everything except Pornography and Extreme gore... that stuff is a waste of film.

Shakespeare, Lama Surya Das, cookbooks, Romance novels, love them all. but right now I have to focus on textbooks.

My Parents, My Grandparents and Ricky Martin
