Ok, me. I was born in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, which means.... I'm a full blooded hillbilly. However, I'm not a redneck, I don't do NASCAR and I'm not a member of the religious right. I sometimes dress funny, my feet stink and I'm weird all the way around the edges but I'm good with that. I don't always color between the lines. Not because I can't but because sometimes I just don't want to. I'm a mother and a grandmother. I have three furry kids, Guinevere, a ten year old german shepherd, a cat named Boxie and another named Adora Rose. I believe everything matters, even the little things that may seem insignificant can often produce profound results. I'm a treehugger from way back. I think everybody should love everybody. I like happy. I think it looks good on people, inside and out. I believe you have to appreciate ALL that you have, no matter how much or how little that may be. I am a very fortunate person, in that I am healthy and I'm happy and I have a wonderful circle of friends, both old and new, who inspire me and support me and most of all, love me because I am me. I've always been one to speak my mind. I'm typically the one to say what other people think but either don't have the guts to say or who have the good sense not to say. I sew, play with wood a bit, do a little beading, some gardening and dabble in various other crafts when the mood strikes me. I'm a rockhound. I have them everywhere, mayhaps even in my head! I'm a sucker for kids, animals and old people and I believe we should ALL be much more mindful of taking better care of ALL of them. I figure it this way, those who are stronger are morally obligated to stand up and support those who are disadvantaged and displaced.
