We talk mainly about PsA and related topics here. I'd like to, for a moment, leave PsA behind and talk about ourselves beyond PsA. So...what are five things about you that have nothing to do with PsA?
I'll start:
1. I have 10 tattoos and purple hair.
2. I strive to be a radical homemaker and radical unschooler.
3. I love to read, listen to music, and write.
4. I have five kids, ages 13, 11, 9, 6 and 4 and babysit kids ages 8 months, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (although usually not all on the same day). One of my kids has Aspergers, one has undiagnosed chronic fatigue and joint pain (possible PsA or celiac), and several who have food allergies.
5. I'm co-founder of a nonprofit organization (www.mindfulvillage.org) and volunteer with other non-profit organizations and in my church.
What are five things about you? Do you have any questions for me or anyone else? :)
Nancy - I love horses and my 9 year old daughter is obsessed with horses. She took riding lessons for a couple years, paying for them with her own money.
Louise - Yay for tattoos and purplish hair! :) I'd love to get another tattoo or three, but have the same time/money problem.
1. I am mom and stepmom to 4 grown girls. 2. I am a Personnel Manager and love working
with the people and helping them out.
3. I am an A.B.A.T. E. of MN member and love doing the charity
rides when I can sit on the back of a bike long enough.
4. I like to be outside and at the lake having good company and campfires and love a good book.
5. Yard work and Antiquing are my favorite pass times, and last but not least I have 5 tattoos and
A German Shepherd I couldn’t live without.
Mindful Village is a non-profit organization that focuses on building a nurturing community for families and individuals who choose conscious, compassionate parenting and informed natural living choices. We discuss everything from childbirth, breastfeeding, diapering, and parenting to nutrition, health, politics, religion and lots more. We encourage people to research decisions they make in their lives so they can make informed choices, hopefully choosing to tread lightly on the earth and choose a mindful path.
2) I have a wonderful husband that is 16 years my senior
3) I have 2 awsome children (girl;34 and boy;30) and one fantastic grandson who is 4 3/4 y/o with an IQ of 150 ( we are in real trouble getting this one raised, LOL)
4) I love to read, crochet and garden (have had to change to container gardening)
5) I am an Air Force Brat; the youngest of 3 (mom & dad) + 4 (dad's 1st marriage); I was raised pretty much as an only child, ( I am the afterthought child) ; went to 15 schools in 10 years.
Nice to get to know everyone a little more indepth. :)
1) I'm a total gamer girl. I love action and RPG. My MMO of choice right now is DCUO. (I've set up my hot keys to minimise any pain in my finger joints.) :)
2) I speed read and go through many books every week. I love historical fiction, social sciences, psychology, education, and sci-fi. Thank goodness for my ereader and iPad as I'd be knee-deep in books otherwise.
3) I have a wonderful husband who is also a teacher, and two fabulous kids aged 7 and 5 - both named after scientists. :)
4) I also have PTSD from abuse I "survived" as a child. I'm lucky to have gotten a lot of support over the years from a fantastic adoptive family.
Nice change.
