I'm just a simple person, that loves Jesus, my family, chocolate, wine, photography, great friends, writing, music and Jon Bon Jovi for the last 30 years! Photographer David Bergman's work jumpstarts my heart! I've been to hell and back, to heaven and back so I am here to say that miracles do happen, just keep the faith and believe. Now I am free to live before I die, or die trying ;) I live in beautiful scenic southern Oregon in the gateway to world famous Crater Lake National Park. I also rent my spare rooms out to travelers on AirBnb, therefore have met the most amazing people from all over the world. I love to write my life stories. Ask any of my friends that I send messages to. I can't write one sentence. They turn into books! I have had many angel encounters, have endured more than any human should ever have to, but also have been blessed beyond my wildest imagination with my children and now little grandbabies. Being alone for the last 10 years has given me much time to reflect on what is really important in life. One of my stories is called On the Edge of Eternity about the last weeks of my brother's life and what we encountered together. He died in my arms listening to his fav song, BlazeOfGlory. Another one called My Glimpse of Heaven is about when I died briefly here on earth, but in heaven the time seemed to go on and on. as I spent time with my Savior who told me my time was not up yet, I had more to do, so get my butt back and get to work. Well not in those words exactly :) God knows how much I admire JBJ, so He has used Jon many times to bring me back to life in one way or another. Their lyrics are brimming with words of hope and encouragement to hang in there, God has a plan for our lives, and to live before we die. So that is what I am trying to do. For 30 years I have wanted to see this real life angel in person, who gives more of his heart & money to the needy, than any other human I have known. Having survived abuse&cancer;, unable to ever go to a concert, I am now starting to live. I'd love the opportunity to tell Jon how inspirational he has been in my life, how much I admire his devotion to his wife and children, family & friends, &thank; him for all he does. My daughter lives close with her husband and 2 precious little children, so I am blessed. My son lives in Chicago with his wife, baby boy and their brand new adorable baby girl whom I adore!
