I was born in, and mostly raised in Texas. I graduated high school and attended college in Southeast Missouri. I worked at a TG USA in Missouri for 7 years, a factory that made car body parts. At first, I worked in Quality Control. Then, as a Mold Technician in the Injection Molding department. In that position I changed the molds in and out of the machines, plus programed and troubleshot the injection machines and the robots. After leaving that job. I studied Anthropology for three years at Southeast Missouri State University. One year from graduating, with honors, I had to quit and go into hiding with my baby, due to threats of murder from my then husband. During that time, which lasted several years, I lived off the west coast of Washington State on Lopez Island. Sometimes I lived in a teepee, and sometimes in other peoples homes. I learned to live simply. I grew most of my food, milked a cow, and bought most of what I could not grow from the local farmers. I designed, made, and sold clothing that was either organic or repurposed fabrics, using an antique treadle sewing machine. From 2007 thru 2013, I was part of an active community garden, and was the organizer of meetings and work parties. As well as, designing and implementing some major physical structural changes to the garden. I studied permaculture in 2011 and have used that as both my gardening practice and life structure ever since. In 2012 I began to study herbs for wellness. This was an autodidactic study of how to grow a variety of herbs as well as their purpose, how to make use of them, and the creation of recipes for their use. This study and practice is ongoing. I worked on a team that took San Juan County, Washington(legally) GMO free, as of November 2012. My part was in educating locals through farmers market booths, and building the website. That required reading, checking and sorting through many articles that would help educate people on the reasons why we do not want genetically engineered crops in our community, as well as alternative resources available. In 2013 I purchased a home within the Lopez Community Land Trust. It turned out that it was moldy from very poor building. And, despite that it was making people in those homes sick, the builders had made sure they were legally covered from being legally or financially responsible to anyone who had bought into those homes. So, in 2015 I sold and left the island on a long journey with Peter, and my son. We traveled and met many interesting people throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. From those journeys we have many tales to tell. In 2016 I began studying and applying the use of frequency as a method of healing. That is ongoing. In the later half 2018, we attempted to ground in the Sierras of Northern California. After a little over a year we were ready to move on. Especially after the rolling blackouts for over a month in California, that were labeled “the new norm.” However, before we could figure where the best place for us might be, the world shut down, and seemed to go mad as well. So, in 2020 we launched into efforts with other concerned people to correct some actions taking place in our county. Then, one personal catastrophic event followed after another, until we were finally able to leave California in the early spring of 2024. During our five and a half years in Nevada County California we became intimately familiar with spiritual warfare, because it is so heavy there. As a result, we learned many things and have plenty more tales to tell. That is it to date. Hopefully, that gives you a sense of who I am and what I have been doing with my life.
