I began home education when my oldest was beginning second grade and have been home educating ever since, graduating both my girls. I have been very active across Ohio with home education issues/legislation/support groups/assessments of home educated students and speaking to groups. I have a passion for home education.

I enjoy quilting, sewing, reading and gardening.

I suffer with fibromyalgia with much pain, chronic fatigue, headaches, sleep disorder, neuropathy and depression.

I love Jesus and want to please him only. I want to serve Jesus with my whole being and life. I want to share the hope of Jesus both spiritually and physically.
