I am a 58 yo mother of three college age daughters

I am a reflective and thoughtful( aka sensitive) person who uses art to seek deeper insight

I value knowledge , hard work, kindness and consideration above all else....

If I find myself on a certain lake in Maine , I am in heaven

I encourage others to find a similar place where, they too,, find the true self (and a spirit animal)!

Since I usually take the road less traveled , it has made all the difference to me because, the harder path contained many personal challenges

Had I have taken the more traveled road , I would not be nearly as interesting or as resilient as I am today

Dogs and horses have always been by my side and they never disappoint

They have been my wisest teachers and have shown me the path to simplicity, contentment and unconditional love

For that am thankful ❤️
