I have a big heart (anyone who knows me will vouch for that) and an ever inquiring mind. For almost the past two decades I have devoted almost full time to assisting, on a volunteer basis, those whose lives and health have been shattered by adverse reactions to serotonergic prescription drugs, mainly antidepressants.

After 20 years of being alone after "the divorce," it is time to find someone to share life with. I need a friend who will share my hopes and desires and work with me to accomplish much good in our families and the world and the church. I want someone to work with me to prepare for the millennium which Brigham said would be here tomorrow if we would get our act together now.

When it comes to service I do tend to go overboard (it was those 80 and 90 hour weeks in the mission field that got me started) and know that it is time to focus a little more on my own life and future. Always expect the out of the norm, or unusual from me. I would not use the word odd at all, but being like everyone else always did seem a little boring to me. Now we have all been led to believe that medicating us to all be boringly "normal" is the way to go.

As you might have guessed by the name I picked for this site, I am a confessed health nut and it has definitely paid off. I saw a doctor last month for the first time in over 30 years and it was a waste of time and money. My patriarchal blessing makes it quite clear that the Word of Wisdom is a HUGE part of my mission in life. So I am in great shape physically, hard working, active, love throw myself into organic gardening (whenever I can find a minute), am not into movies - would rather live life than watch someone else live it on a screen . . .

I am from Arizona, but have lived many places including Europe for a short time. I lived in Utah for many years after my mission and moved to Iowa a year and a half ago. I absolutely love it here! I like not feeling cramped like cities make you feel. Yet, I will always love California too . . . I am laid back, easy going, and do not like such a fast pace even though my life seems to race at a pretty fast pace most of the time anyway. Stepping out on the deck to watch the lake beyond the pasture for a few minutes sure does recharge your batteries though! It is so beautiful here that it is like living in a park that you only get to visit in a city.

The Gospel has been my center my whole life. Serving a mission set the stage for the rest of my life - except for that nasty divorce. :-) The temple is the most amazing blessing and one that sets us far apart from other religions. I only regret that it took me so long to fully grasp what the endowment was all about and learn to appreciate it the way I do. It helps one to understand how blessed we are as we get the genealogy of our ancestors in order to attain those blessings for them which in turn bless our lives in ways we cannot even begin to grasp yet!

First Enoch was my hero as he took a society as corrupt as ours and got them to repent to the point of translation! But Hugh Nibley was also one of my many heroes since. What an amazing mind and wonderful sense of humor!

As you can tell I am an author and before I end up finishing another book here, I will stop and let you contact me for the "rest of the story" of my life and interests.

There is little I am not interested in. I love learning! Trying new things has always been exciting to me. I am down to earth, uncomplicated - I guess no woman is that, huh? Let's see - gardening, tennis, pool, table tennis, chess, stained glass, pottery, design, etc. I love working too!
