It's me the tree huger... No, I mean the tree lover. No, no, the nature lover. =)


I am carrying at about 35 to 40 extra pounds, but I am still someone special and beautiful inside and out. Repeat..

Getting through childhood, adulthood,
and old age can be challenging without

volunteering to be your worst enemy.

Thank you Steve, family & friends for all of your support and being there for me.

BARLOW GIRL LYRICS

"Mirror"

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect
So sorry you won't define me
Sorry you don't own me

Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't try

Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
And to Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me

Just another quote & picture of me

Here I was about 16 pounds less than I am currently. This was one of my so called really "FAT" pictures. What was I thinking?
The levis jeans I was wearing here 28" waist. And these pants were comfy with room to spare around the waist.


About 12 pounds less than I am currently.

Both of these pictures were taken a few years ago.

A lovely family outing
