I am a 56 year old single woman.  I have a BA in Human Services, minors in Comparative Religion and Women's Studies and a Masters in Adult Education.  I worked with adolescents for a while, was a drug and alcohol counselor and then ran the county detox for 5 years.  I am now disabled from fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which led to depression, then panic attacks.  So, I don't work anymore. 
I have a 40 year old son, Eric, a 19 year old granddaughter, Ashley, that graduated from high school last year, an 18 year old grandson, Kyler, who graduated form high school this year, a 5 year old grandson, Eli and a 2 year old granddaughter, Jovi.
I'm scared shitless I won't finish my novel, "The Other Realm".  I know it's a good storyline, good characters, etc., it is just that I have a big problem finishing anything.  Took me 7 years to get my BA at age 37!
I had a drug addiction to opiates, including heroin. I have been clean since 1987. You can read about that in my submission "Heroin Hell".
I just got a Sheltie Collie puppy I named Solomon Obama. You can see where my politics are.
I love reading, the ocean, decorating, watercoloring, camping and hiking if I am up to it. I love to travel, but haven't been financially able to recently. I just bought a 1990 red Sunbird with a white convertible top. I love convertibles, this is the fourth one I've owned in my life. My favorite was my MGB, but I blew the engine running it without oil. Won't make that mistake again. Now that I have a car, I will be able to drive to the coast and visit the ocean, which always grounds me.
