I enjoy indigenous crafting such as beading and making dreamcatchers. I bead jewelry, lanyards, and clothing. I love to gift my creations to the special people in my life.
I workout almost everyday. I am very conscientious about my overall health (physical, emotional and mental).
I am passionate about being a parent and foster parent. I feel blessed to have had a part in raising several children from different backgrounds and circumstances as well as my biological children.
