I am the product of 40 + years of life and learning.

After 20 years of marriage to a man I loved very much and still love, we chose to part ways for reasons neither of us fully understand, but yet know it was the very best thing for ourselves and our children.

I am now in a committed and amazingly wonderful relationship with my very best friend and the other half of my soul, Kris. She completes me in ways I never knew possible.

Together we are raising our 10 children, products of our 20 years of marriage and life experiences. Three of our young one now live on their own and are making their way in this world, the other 7 are still under wing for awhile.

I am currently following the time honored tradition of apprenticeship in order to serve women as a home birth midwife.

And in what little spare time I can glean I am trying to educate myself in green living and sustainability so our family can move into a more simple way of living.
