Something About Me
What can I tell you about me? I spent much of my professional life as a veterinarian’s right hand. Consequently, I learned so many life nuggets of wisdom from my mentors. It is impossible to convey the enormity of what one discovers in practice about science, the sentience of other beings, and how everything is connected. There is no substitute for a genuine, knowledgeable, wise healer. My years in veterinary practice were some of the most profoundly beneficial, difficult years of my life.
I’ve done the grunt work a lot. I’m no stranger to long, hard-dog days laboring outside. Currently, I’m working on using my motley education and pursuing some long-on-hold dreams. I’m moderately institutionally educated in biological sciences and web development with a respectable-sized bucket of programming mixed in. Nevertheless, I’m broadly life-educated. I firmly believe that “the proof is in the pudding” regarding work ethic and output. I find words to be empty vessels without merit to back them.
What I Love
I’m one of the parents in my beautifully blended family. My husband and I are raising three beautiful kids, neurodivergent included. Parenting is not at all what I expected. Moreover, as a mother, I can feel the entire spectrum of emotions within one hour. Likewise, my parents and sisters are also vital organs in my life.
My garden and beloved collection of books are sacred to me. In addition, woodworking is my newest love, and I’m throwing nets out to learn it.
I’m just a regular person trying to heal from tough times, grow and evolve in mind and spirit, and share a little on the way. How does an ordinary 40-something-year-old woman with responsibilities, bills, and baggage do all that? Indeed, that’s what I’m on a quest to figure out. Hopefully, I will inspire others to do the same along the way.
How does one sum up a person’s incredibly detailed personality, thoughts, feelings, interactions with others, and life? We are eight billion complex, individual, sentient beings. Still, I’m just one of them, and I’m grateful you are here sharing this human experience with me.
Like many of you, we are ships subject to ever-changing tides and deep waters. I’m just trying to navigate the seas I find myself in now.
