Location Oregon, United States
Introduction A Midwestern girl for more than half my life, I ventured to the West Coast in 1986 where I found my true home in southern Oregon. Once here, I understood why it was called God's Country with its majestic mountains, endless pine forests, clean air & water, pristine ocean shores & a temperate climate with all the benefits of the 4 seasons. I enjoy scenic drives & walks in this beautiful country, especially at the coast. I work as an Office Manager for a non-profit organization & have found many blessings in working 24 yrs in a service-oriented profession. I have a beautiful daughter, a delightful son-in-law & 3 adorable grandsons who live nearby. My life has been an amazing adventure, with many lessons to learn along the way. With a solid foundation of faith handed down from my grandmother & my dear mother, this has been the glue which has held me together & seen me through some very difficult times. I have been profoundly inspired by Michael Jackson. His passion to make the world a better place has become my passion & I hope to make a difference in this world for the remainder of my life in whatever ways God calls me.
