I was born in 1956 and lived most of my life in Georgia.
I was raised by a single parent (my Mom raised my two sisters and myself) and eventually became a single parent of two children myself.
I dropped out of school early in the 11th grade (high school just didn't do much for me!) and obtained my GED and went on to College. I don't reccomend this educational route, it's not the easy way to do things! I obtained my Bachelors degree in 1982 from Augusta College (now called Augusta State University) in Augusta, GA.
While a single parent (and at the age of 35), I returned to school full time as a graduate student. I graduated from the Medical College of Georgia with a MS degree in Biochemistry in 1994.
I have in the past been a victim of domestic violence
I am a recovering alcoholic. I have been in recovery since 1986. The tools for living that I learned from Alcoholics Anonymous and the love and caring of the people I met there saved my life.
I was raised as a Unitarian . I converted to Catholicism five years ago, but still remain a Unitarian at heart!
I believe in life after death and that it is possible for those of us still living to communicate with departed loved ones, though that doesn't happen often.
I believe in the right of individuals to decide when to end their own life and die with dignity. For more information, visit The Hemlock Societies webpage. I support the efforts of the couragous physicians who are willing to help their patients end their lives in a peaceful, dignified manner.
