About Me:
I'm a mother of 4 (2 are mine, 2 are his) Most have moved out, only one left. I have a deep love of nature and animals and I am always trying to live a more balanced life. For work I am a hospice caregiver who does occasional house cleaning on the side. I started watching what I ate years ago when I found out MSG was slowly killing me. It took me forever to figure it out and get it out of my diet. The docs were no help. Now they are putting GMO's in nearly everything yet even GMO farmers are still growing with herbicides and pesticides. ( Seems the GMO's are not becoming the wonder crop they thought it was. ). They don't care about their impact on the environment, our bees, our community. As a result I no longer consider most food in the grocery store to be worthy of consumption by anyone.
