| Biography |
 |
I was born in Arkansas and swiftly moved to Florida. I lived in over 15 states by the time I was 13 years old as a migrant worker, and yes at age 6 I started helping in the fields and picking crops to help support our family of 7, and then in off school season I also did it til I was 13 when I was left for foster care. I was split from my 4 siblings and 25 years later not one of us children are close to the other. In fact we live in 4 different locations in the U.S.. Once I went into foster care I went to 11 foster homes and 11 different high schools in the next 4 years until I went on Independent living through the state of Iowa -where I went to High school and worked at a fast food restaurant and paid my own way. I couldnt afford it so I had to quit High School as a senior and work full time to "make my way" but I later (at age 29) was finally able to get my G.E.D. but before I started finally getting my life straight- I got pregnant at 18 (I was a virgin) and gave up my 5 month old baby when I was 19 to a family who has raised her- and now she is 19 and we met via internet last year. I waited and struggled until I found the "right" family and relinquished my love to them and left Florida from the pain for MidAmerica and never returned.
I had many hard depressing years after that, but I faced them with a smile and my chin up.
In all my years previous not one person pulled me to the side and said," make sure you keep your credit good" and no one talked about the facts of life, or tried to bond with me, I was soooo full of love and life and had no friends from moving so much, no roots to cling to in any geographical location, and I wanted more but I didnt know what "more" was until I met my husband.
At the age of 35 I got with my dear husband to be, yes I floated through life confused and waiting for 16 years until I found him and now we are married with
two beautiful children that are almost 2 and 3 years old.
Life makes so much sense now. Like something clicked. I dont care about my geographical location, or friends I dont have, or money I dont have, my most precious gifts and blessings are in my husband and children. My world is complete. Now........
Im a blast. Im a fun mom, always looking for the next laugh! I have one goal in life now, and thats to make sure my children have a "childhood" I was never given, to be kids as long as they can before they go out into the world and "make their own". I teach them to say please and thank you, and to consider others feelings and to enjoy every minute possible. They ARE only 1 and 2 lol, but you would be amazed at thier wordly knowledge already.
Im a stay at home mom, the ambassador to the world to my children, a very important job indeed!!! To take two human lives and teach them the world as I want them to see it, its a good thing I have had lots of experience and have an open mind!
I want only one thing now from life, to see them grow into caring individuals with as many questions answered fairly as to not prejudice ANYONE from any walk of life or ethnic background, or handicap. My children will be knowledgeable of as much as I can express to them and not just "opinionated".
My dear husband is a letter carrier and he works many hours to pay all our bills and he is a wonderful man, awesome husband, adoring father, and gives more than he could ever think of taking. He works in the blistering heat and tepid weather, and just loves the other two seasons as long as the dogs stay off his heels!

| My Purpose |
|
I joined microgiving to not only get a request filled, but to help where I can. I also have a donor account where I give small donations as I can, because "paying it forward" is supposed to come back like a boomerang, as long as I give with love.
