Have you ever had surgery? What for?
More than 3
The first surgery I had was minor surgery as a child. I walked past a shard of glass from a large, broken picture window. I sliced my leg along my calf leg on the left side. I had to be rushed to the hospital. I also had hand surgery from letting a fire cracker blow up in my hand. Another minor surgery where stitches were needed.This is before the time of numbing the area so I had to get several stitches and the held down in order to stay still. My next surgery, was when I had been in labor for two days. My son was being very stubborn and not wanting to get in the right position so my labor was being prolong until the core began to wrap around his neck from all of his turning so I ended up having to have a C-section on an emergency my next surgery after that was a planned surgery my daughter then a third C-section after that, I had to have a thyroidectomy because my thyroid was not functioning correctly, and had created a mass, the size of a potato in my throat (a goiter) and another mass the size of a football in my chest, which was causing me to not be able to breathe correctly and have fainting spells often so I had to have open chest surgery and throat surgery. After that one, I had a total hysterectomy because of problems with my uterus and anemia and bleeding problems. My body has been through quite a bit, but I would say it has all been worth it.
What are your daily habits?
Writing and meditating with music
I wake up get out of bed and go to the bathroom. Then I go back to bed because I still be tired. Then I sit up and get my bag of pills that I have to take together for the rest of my life. Then I will eat breakfast eggs and toast with orange juice then I will meditate and try to focus on my day I get my music together thinking about my kids and grandkids praying that all of them are safe and protected at that moment and every moment of their lives then I think about my mom sister brothers nieces nephews and husband then I get ready for my day and I see what I can accomplish for this day
How important is spirituality in your life?
Spirituality is very important to me because God is life.
God has made my life worthwhile and worth living things haven’t always been easy but with him by my side, I’ve been able to get through a lot and not go over the deep end. I’ve had some very traumatic events in my life. I didn’t know what was coming next or what to do, but my faith and my belief kept me going. There’s so much more I could say, but I want him with this God is everything..

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?
The reason I’m not interested in visiting Moscow is they do not value the freedom of their people nor the individual rights of others and I’m afraid that they would infringe on my independence if I was to visit there
