About Me

**7/18/2024 PLEASE BE PATIENT WITH MY RATINGS I AM sometimes medically disabled and I can only get to my cards one or two times a week. Know your cards keep me going!!!

I’m 44, inside I feel in my 20’s, outsside like I’m in my 70’s. I have two teenagers and a husband. I grew up in Renton, WA and didn’t go too far! My training is as a nurse but I pretend I’m a Broadway singer when no one is home. I currently work as an Anticoagulation nurse as I have medical disability. I stopped drinking alcohol 7 years ago hence, I’m a sober mermaid. I share mail and mermaids on IG. Follow me if you like! @mermaidsandmailboxes

My mind never stops generating ideas.

I don’t do judgement... I’m more concerned by someone’s character than their choice of partner, faith, color, or place of origin....so on! I support human beings. I am a huge ally of the LGTBQ + and I believe love is the answer. I’m not into mixing religion and politics. I do have some favorite Politicians.

I started writing again to combat the isolation and loneliness that comes with an invisible, chronic and very painful condition (I look fine to everyone else). I count my blessings and I refuse to give up even though many days I do want to. I try to live like I have little time left, not a lifetime to come. I try to love all people the way they feel they deserve, not the way I think they deserve. Bottom line is everyone deserves the love that we believe we deserve. Mental Health Matters!

What inspires me

Real, human, stories, that’s what inspires me. I am generally interested in anyone who has something they want to share about themselves. Your strange coincidence, six degrees of separation, past and present colliding, I want those stories. Your triumphs and struggles and how you fight or overcame (because that matters). What is the dream you never followed? (mine is Performing Artist, novelist, doctor, interior decorator, fashion designer, comedian, ballerina)

I have some of my own that I hope inspire others too.

Comment: Oh my goodness, this whole swap package is fabulous, thank you so much! And the way you wrapped it all up with the snoopy ribbon made it super fun to open. The stamps, sticker, colorful shiny playing card, cute paper, fun postcard, cool envie, it's all wonderful. And the girl tucked into bed on the postcard - I want that comforter! The ATC is adorable, so many round things, the macarons made my mouth water. Thank you so much for everything. You put a lot of effort into creating a swap with things I love, and I appreciate it.
