ABOUT ME

I have four children, one ( my son) I put up for adoption when I was 17 years old, two (daughters) are biologically mine and being raised by me, and the third is a beautiful daughter whom I adopted 5 years ago...I spent 8 years in Indianapolis In. till I recently moved back to the very small town of Middlebury (near South bend) to find a better school system and be closer to my family. Though life has insisted on practical decisions, I am still an adventurer at heart (despite the criticism of those near me)

PHILOSOPHY

a good debate is wonderful as long as both parties have the desire to listen and grow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started my travels when I was 15, for my 16th birthday I traveled from Indians to New Hampshire to see the Grateful dead (though I was not a fan) Sorry,,,however I was very excited about seeing Bob dylan open. I was later glad to have been a part of this tour because it was their last tour. Later that summer I went to a few rainbow gatherings, this was the beginning of my love of travel, I have traveled to Florida, Atlanta, and Dallas alone in my car, and have had a ministry of expressing true love to women working in the strip club industry for the last 5 years.
