About me

Gender Female
Location VIRGINIA, United States
Introduction I'm an artist, love making beautiful things and creating beautiful spaces. I re-discovered my childhood love of colored gemstones, and have spent several years teaching myself to make jewelry with them. I love what I do! As a breast cancer survivor, with years of disabling degenerative illness before that, I've come to embrace the alternatives approach to health and diet. I leaned this way starting in my early 20's, but didn't fully commit myself until researching the failures and horrors of chemotherapy. Today, I'm healthier than I've been in decades, thanks to this change in approach. I like to share my experiences and the knowledge I've gathered, but once given I have no attachment to what others do with my opinions. That's a good thing, as I am very opinionated! I've come to believe that everyone needs to go through their own challenges in their own way, no matter what I - or anyone else - thinks is right. I am willing to care for those who choose a different path than mine without being judgemental and with unstinted affection! Even when circumstances are awful, life can still be good!
