I am a woman born in Southeastern Ohio.  I am a mother of two grown children, and I will be a grandmother in June of 2007. I am a woman who has gone through many experiences with abuse.  I was a victim of child abuse; raped at fifteen and eighteen; and lived in an abusive marriage for 18 years.  I am now dealing with the progressive disease of Multiple Sclerosis and have been told by doctors that I am not treatable.  I have tried ABCR drugs which only made me worse.  I am in a wheelchair full time and many times can't even get out of bed. My particular situation may seem grim to most people, but I have used all that has happened to me for the help and benefit of others in need of support.   I have written a book, titled,  "Chaos was My Bread; Calamity was My Water; A Story of Abuse," with a co-author.  I also have a book called, "Day by Day with Multiple Sclerosis," which has resently been submitted to a publisher.  These books and the many websites I have put together, are my contributions to help those who need help and support to deal with their own troubles.  My experience exists for the purpose of helping others.

My book "Chaos was My Bread; Calamity was My Water," is set to be published by Publish America here real soon. My E-book is already available called, "Day by Day with Multiple Sclerosis." My website has won many awards. Visit the site in the list below to see these awards.
