A little background information about me.

I grew up in England just west of London, and went to school in Oxford. After my marriage I moved to the USA with my husband and two daughters. I have lived in Michigan and Minnesota and currently live in Oregon. While in Minnesota, I began homeschooling my daughters and started a state-wide homeschooling network. I wrote a number of articles on home education, coached parents and spoke at conferences.
Then, after moving to Oregon I became a speaker on Domestic Abuse. After getting a divorce, I shared a house with a woman whom I discovered was a heavy drug user. During those years I lived with the chaos of a drug user in the house. I did my share of enabling until I finally realized that I was part of the problem and not part of the solution. I then started a local drug education network and learned a huge amount about drugs and their effects. After two years I wanted to expand the reach of this work so created my current website.

Drugs split families apart. I knew that for my own health and safety I could not live in the same house with a drug abuser. Now I am committed to helping other families who are going through the same drug-induced chaos that I lived with.

In the summer of 2008, I became a caregiver for a disabled woman Veteran who suffered a life threatening illness. Since then and after dealing with the VA in all it's various forms, I decided to expand my information here to give much more help to Veterans and their families. Please check out all the information on my Veterans page.

I use Site Sell and their program called Site Build It. Site Build It, or SBI as it is known, is not only a way of building a website but a way of building a whole business. That is what I used to build this website and my business, and I thoroughly enjoyed doing it. Do go and look at Site Build It for yourself.
