Looking for friendship, or more This is difficult, since what most people perceive them to be can be completely different than what others will perceive them to be. But here it goes!
This is what I know, I am very truthful, so truthful in fact, that tact sometimes will go out the window. I would rather tell you like it is, especially if it will help someone, rather than spare their feelings. This can sometimes cause problems, alas life goes on.
I survived an asthma attack/stroke 12 years ago, it took me some time but I’m as close to normal as I can be. This is the reason why my youngest daughter has cerebral palsy. I was pregnant with her when it happened, and she had to be born prematurely.
I am also a cancer survivor, cancer free for 9 year now, WOOO HOOO! The cancer treatments, and the steroids I had to take caused me to gain weight, it’s coming off but very slowly. So if you have a problem with being overweight, don’t bother to message me, you’re not worth my time. (Told you I was blunt!)
On the lighter side, I enjoy writing articles, working on websites, creating website graphics, and I am currently writing a book. I also enjoy reading, but most of all, enjoy taking care of my family. I have 3 kids, one of whom has severe cerebral palsy. She requires a lot of care since she is unable to do anything for herself. That's ok, because she, along with my other two, is my life, and makes my life worth living daily, even when they can be difficult. But we all have bad days!
I follow Earth Based Religions; Native American Spirituality and Wicca. I believe people should follow the religious path that they are led to follow; be it Christian or Non Christian. So if you have a problem with someone being of a Non Christian belief system, don't message. Do message me if you have an open mind regarding other people's beliefs. After all, isn't it better someone believes in something; rather than nothing?
