I am a child of God...
...and a work in progress! There was a time that I thought I knew a lot. I thought I had it all together. I thought I had great advice for other people. I guess maybe you could call it progress, enlightenment, wisdom or maturity, but I just know that there is a lot I don't know! 


I am a wife...
...happily married to William, my best friend for 15 years so far!


I am a mom...
...to five wonderful children: Calvin, Jordan, Ian, Gavin and Aaron.   Our latest blessing has Down's Syndrome - so we are learning a lot about that!


I am a survivor...
...Ian passed away when he was only 3 months old (SIDS)  I can't believe that I am still here.  I always thought if something ever happened to one of my kids, you might as well bury me right along with them!  Grief is a journey, healing is not a destination but a process!


I am a homemaker...
...not just by virtue of the fact that I am home all day, but because I choose to pursue this as an honorable vocation.  I'm getting better at it every day!


I am a teacher...
...I graduated from "homeschool" in 1993 and have homeschool my children.  Even though my oldest children are returning to school, I am continuing my journey as my children's first teacher.


I am a fragrance consultant...
...I joined Gold Canyon in 2010 because I love filling my home with fragrance - and they truly do have the world's finest fragrances!  My original goal of being a Certified Fundraising Specialist was realized in August of 2011.  I am excited about helping churches, missionaries, schools and all types of non-profits raise critically needed funds by selling candles. 


I am an artist...
