I have lived in Italy, Greece, Germany, and Japan.I have lived here in Washington since I was 14 years old.

I have three cats their names are Cruzer, Tuffy, and the newest addition Panda Tuffy's baby.

I was a home health nurse for 15 years,after getting very sick I was unable to do the physical part of the job.I have always been a healer so I decided to return back to school.I now live with a feeding tube and am unable to eat food anymore.The only food I can eat is stuff like baby-food but I don't let it slow me down.

Here is my creation story 

       There was once a small spirit that did not know his purpose. It was a lonley spirit. One day he went to Grandfather and asked him what his purpose was. Grandfather was wise and all knowing. Grandfather asked the small spirit what he wanted out of life? The spirit said"I would like to bring others together in fellowship, I want everything you hear, smell or taste and touch to induce a sence of well being. Peace and happyness. Grandfather directed the small spirit to go out and plant itself in the soil. Then after many moons you will grow and then you would know what your purpose will be. So the little spirit went out to the wilderness and planted itself in the soil after many moons the small spirit became grounded in the soil and grew.The little spirit was little no more, for over time the spirit had changed into an herb. Not just any herb. This was a special kind of herb. The leaf of this plant had seven points.As thoe it were reaching out to invite one to take of it. For whenever one would smell it he would have to search it out because his aroma was so intoxicating. The stalk grew tall, taller than the other plants around it. Its buds sparkeled with tiny little crystals in the sun and rich in the color green.When the buds were dryed and shared with fire it would smoke and bring peace to all who took it ito their body.Now that the little spirit had become a herb.This spirit  knew what he had become and what Grandfather created it for.
