I AM what I AM I was born and raised in Chicago Illinois, along with my older brother and sister … the twins.  I am a true blue, baby boomer, pretty much raised by June and Ward Cleaver.  I have always been an outdoorsy girl and have had horses, as well as most every other kind of pet, throughout the course of my life. I always seemed to have more four legged friends than I could count and truly earned the nickname of Ellie May. I would consider myself a real softy when it comes to the neglected, abused and abandoned. All but one of my umpteen critters was a rescue, stray or throwaway.  I currently have two horses, a barn full of cats and two inside kitties, a couple of dogs, as well as one garage cat who thinks she's a dog!  Now this kitty is more than confused as far as her identity goes...she eats, sleeps and plays with my two dogs, Waldo (a Great Pyrenees) and Bobo (a Beagle mix).  I must admit, life is never boring around my little mountain top farm. I have been blessed in so many ways, not withstanding two great kids, three beautiful grandchildren and an absolutely wonderful husband. Without his continuous support and steadfast dedication I would never have been able to follow my dream to write this book. I have been an entrepreneur all my life and have held a variety of positions, everything from owner/operator of a renovation company, to an in-home health care provider.  I experienced the gain and loss of my first million by the ripe old age of thirty-eight.  I’ve blasted through my entire life at warp speed searching for inner peace, in a state of complete frustration and total futility until now. Throughout the course of my life I have survived an abundance of strange and inexplicable experiences. In fact, the primary source of information for this book was extracted from my own remarkable true-life events. I’d like to tell you that I have several degrees and a boatload of credentials to back my writing, but that simply isn’t the case.  I do, however, have an incredible story to tell and a mountain of valuable information to share.  I feel that I possess a unique viewpoint and an ability to write the simple truth in a straightforward and colorful way. I have always had the gift of gab and the ability to quite easily get my point across. I do believe I've done just that with this book! Learn how to find God Learn how to find God
