Sometimes, the most difficult person to look at is one's own self. Ego sometimes blocks the way to clarity. Self esteem (or lack thereof) interferes with honest assessment. I can only describe the person I have known since childhood.

I grew up in a simple home, the eldest of five children. Contrasts abounded. Most of my family loved country music and bluegrass. A beloved uncle introduced me to the beauty and power of classical music. Books were my best friends since I was extremely introverted in a group of talkative, social people.

From a very young age, I can recall experiences associated with paranormal activity. I have experienced dreams, visions, precognition, voices from other places, telekinesis and an assortment of events, many involving other people.

I have been drawn to languages. I studied German and French briefly. The Spanish language and culture captivated my fascination at a young age and I consider myself almost fluent. I find myself surrounded by people from all over Latin America and I thrive on the sincerity of their affection and the joy of their friendship. Now, to add a little zest to the confusion in my life, I'm trying to learn Italian.

I am a partner to a marriage that has endured over thirty years. The relationship itself involved many mysterious events and continues to unfold in strange, new directions. The marriage has been blessed with two sons who are creative, healthy and bright.

My life has been anything but dull and routine. Tragedy, heartbreak, struggles have combined with love, joy and laughter to teach me a most valuable lesson...Life is a gift...but not until we learn to treat it as a gift
