My birth on an Air Force base in Germany was followed by moves to thirteen different states.
My Parents were loving but strict. My upbringing led to my biggest fault. I followed rules. I couldn't make decisions for myself.
My talent was singing. After studying opera, I graduated with a Music Education Degree.
Two failed marriages produced three amazing children.
The second marriage was abusive. For six years, I remained a fool. One day that changed. I put him in jail, took the kids, their clothes, left the house, furniture and never looked back.
I finally grew up. I made decisions.
I am a successful high school choir director in Texas. My third marriage just celebrated a happy 19 years.
My children are amazing survivors - Nikolas - 8th ranking featherweight in the UFC, Mandy - a Lawyer, Matthew - a Mechanic for BMW.
Two grand daughters continue the story.
Life is wonderful.
