I am a past 40, abundant-bodied, happily married 'domestic goddess' in near middle of the US. I strive to be aware and conscious of all the worlds around me, and my life is still very much a work in progress...a blessing, for I thrive on learning. I am the mother of an amazing son, and stepmother to three beautiful (inside and out) young women. I live in a unique household that we jokingly call the commune, which allows us to endure the economic changes we are all facing today as well as having more hands to help, more hearts to love, and more minds to create our home with.
