I'm a single mom with four children and they've
all about flown the coop so I figure it's time to
start living life for me again. I like people, I
like talking to them, I love getting to know them
and my business is all about that. I make cold
calls for businesses and I have a lot of fun doing
it. I have an amazing personality which is why I'm
so good at what I do. I like to laugh and would
love to meet someone I can laugh with. I would
love to meet someone who has the same beleifs,
interests and sense of humor. I meet lots of men
in my business and actually have a number of them
that want to further our releationship but none of
them know or love the Saviour. It would be nice to
meet someone who does share that love and desire
to serve Him. I want to know and meet some one who
is complete in himself and sure enough in who he
is that he can appreciate me and my completness
and allow me the freedom to be who I am.
I love the Savior and I try to fill my life with
the light of His love every day. I'm not always as
successful as I would like but I'm a work in
progress or as I've heard it said I've become a
work of God. I've just been called to serve in
Primary teaching the 11-12 yr old girls. I haven't
even been set apart yet, but I'm looking forward
to getting to know the girls. I'm also on the
planning committee for the next singles conference
up here on May 25-26 at Camp Shehalis, it should
be a lot of fun.
I prefer to think of myself as voluptuous and
curvaceous, I'm soft and cuddly too. I love
fireplaces that burn real wood and I like lots of
candles and wonderful music just in case you
wanted to know. I've had this goal to become the
"Amazing Shrinking Women" now since my
oldest daughter was born, but so far success has
eluded me. That's part of the work in progress
thing I mentioned. I haven't given up as of yet,
but I wouldn't hold your breath; for some reason
being voluptuous is how my body seems to like me
dispite all the efforts I've exuded to change it's
mind and or shape. So if you don't mind curvaceous
women keep on trucking.
I wasn't actually planning on doing this I was
Shanghi'd by my sister so don't have a picture
that I like to put up here. I decided to put the
one with my children and I until I can get one. It
was taken in 1999, so it's not up to date but it's
what your getting for right now.

I love reading and actually have pretty eclectic
tastes. Top of the list is Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Who
done it's, history, church books, books for
increasing my talents work wise, self help books,
natural healing & holistic health.
I'm a reflexologist, Lymphologist, herbologist and
a bunch of other ists. I like alternatives when it
comes to health. My doctor tells me he’d go
broke if all his patients were like me, but he’s
a sweet kid so I visit him upon occasion.
I like going to movies, walking on the beach,
horse back riding, walking the dog (when I had
one, she passed away and I've been debating as to
whether or not I should get another one) camping
and singing. I like all kinds of music with the
exception of heavy metal and rap those I can
pretty much live without.
I’m a trekkie from way back. Not the convention
type but a definite fan. I also like Stargate SG-1
& Atlantis, Farscape, Firefly and so on. You
get the picture. I also like the CSI’s, NCIS,
and the other forensic shows. I’m trying to wean
myself off the TV so am not watching much except
the Sci-fi and the occasional other ones when I
have time.
I like to write and have written a number of
different things; a cookbook for using Honey,
whole wheat and all natural ingredients, a how to
book that was self published but needs to be
reworked and edited, I've had one of my poems
published and like writing poetry and I have a
mission statement that I've written that you can
read if you like; it follows this interests and
hobbies statement.
I'm an artist and work in a number of mediums. I
sculpt in clay and work with porcelain, mostly I
make jewelry and do free-hand sculpture. I'm
working right now on learning to paint in water
colors and I’m enjoying that. I’ve tried
working with pastels and wasn’t impressed. I
like doing charcoal drawings and just plain
drawing. I’ve done some quilting, and a number
of other crafty things but the list would be
onerous.
Currently I’m the VP of resolutions on the
Provincial board of one of the oldest women’s
organizations in Canada, not Relief Society. I’m
the past president of the local council in my area
and have been the recording secretary for the
National organization, but resigned due to time
constraints and family obligations. We are a
humanist organization not a feminist organization.
We lobby the government in a vast array of areas
to effect change in our local area, provincially,
nationally and internationally. My other volunteer
foray was as a peer councilor for a women’s
resource center for women in distress. I did if
for about 5 years but have also had to give it up.
I would love to be able to join the Society for
Creative Anachronism (SCA) again. It’s a family
oriented organization that we belonged to quite a
while ago where you get to make period costuming,
Medieval costuming and wear it to events, mostly
wars and feasts. We are in the Barony of Lions
Gate. We would often go camping as a group with
the family and everyone else in costume. It was
one of the few times my children would call me
“My Lady.” Manners were taught, as well as
swordsmanship (fencing), archery, the fine art of
making armor, making lace by hand, costume design,
bardic storytelling, dance, and how to have fun
for no other reason than that you wanted to. They
also encourage doing your genealogy. For instance
if you want to wear royal purple you have to prove
you have actual royalty in your family tree, if
you like purple this is an incentive, as well as
other perks reserved for royalty. My children and
I have often talked about going again, one day
I’d like to actually find the time to do it.
As you can tell I get rather verbose so am going
to quit now I think you know enough.
My Mission
Statement
I am my own authority. I choose not to be affected
by the negative attitudes and opinions of others.
I choose not to let what has happened in the past
define and confine who I am or who I choose to be.
I will be the master of my destiny and create from
the embers of shattered dreams, new hopes and new
dreams. I am stronger and better because I have
survived, because I am still here. I still think,
I still breathe and I still dream. I have the will
to survive, I have the strength to stand, no one
can take that from me if I don’t choose to let
them. I choose not to let them. I will dance my
own dance. I will dance in the light of life, I
will dance until the darkness is gone and the
light lifts me to take me home. I will become all
that I could be, all that I wish to be. I will
mark the way and I will be who I was before I came
here and better. I am a daughter of a God who
loves me, a sister to a Savior who gave His life
that I might have mine. They light my path and
hold my hand, they will teach me to dance in the
light and heal this broken heart and contrite
spirit. The desire to have a mighty change of
heart will be because I choose to have it so. I am
my own authority.
