Some of you know I was born in northern Pakistan into a Missionary family that lived in Pakistan and I went to boarding school in India until I was 18 yrs old. During that time we traveled back to the United States only 2 times and always via ship allowing me to see Europe, middle east and the far east. I grew up speaking 3 languages, having a monkey and a turtle for a pet and camping/hiking the Himalaya mountains in the summers. Much of my childhood has shaped who I am today and how I see the world. Living in more than 19 locations probably helps explain why life to me is a constant adventure. As for hobbies? Gardening & designing gardens – especially if it involves flowers; taking digital pictures of nature; cooking and baking for others; creating art with fruit; and my greatest passion is teaching kids of all ages (favorite age group are grades 5 – 8). I trained to be a music teacher and love to play the piano – but have not followed that career path –instead have spent most of my working life in various corporations assisting executives with 6 of those years being a strategic planner. I love organizing things and making sure the plans are locked far enough in advance to ensure a successful execution – I somehow think I must have a “plan.” People who know me understand they can truly drive me crazy by not giving me a “plan” and if they tell me to “wing it” that definitely will stress me out.
Favorite colors – emerald green and cobalt blue! Somehow I imagine my home in the new earth to be designed in those colors!
Family and friends are very important to me -- I have been privileged to be a Mom to 2 daughters and a Nani to 2 grandkids and a friend to many. I was fortunate to have a wonderful earthly father that taught me to love and respect my Heavenly Father.
My only goal is to be ready for eternity and I hope that is your goal too!
