A 41 year-old lady with several conditions which have limited my ability to be athletic and active. I am in pain on a constant basis. I am lucky to have a supportive, loving husband who take excellent care of me. My two cats keep me entertained. I love the mountains, the colors of fall and the fresh air. The feelings of freedom and relief intoxicate my soul when I am in the mountains. I love photography and hiking. I’m a nature explorer at heart. I love to read every chance I get, which aren’t many. I collect cook books as I love to cook - at least I did until my pain took that away. I maintain a cooking magazine library and enjoy recycling through them and reading them at the appropriate times of year. It seems I learn someting new each time, or forgot I wanted to try a recipe. I find myself to be a spiritual person, always have. I believe in meditation, alternative and homeopathic medicines.
