About Me

UPDATE 2-01-2025: Happy New year everyone. We can make this a beautiful fun year together. I have not swapped since December. I have been sleeping 12-16 hours a day and feeling weak. I have found out I am anemic on top of everything else. So, feeling slightly better and I am excited to be back here with all of you:}

Update March 23, 2024, I am a 47-year-old mom, grandma and wife. (This is the toughest job out there). I have 5 grown children, 3 girls and 2 boys. 2 of my children may not be born unto me but they are still mine and loved. (My greatest Treasures).I have many grandchildren from ages 4-13 whom i love dearly. I have 2 dogs named Miki and Jezzy. they are both small dogs. I also have 3 parakeets named rain, winter and Ceili. I also have 2 conures named Ruby and Elliot I never knew a bird could love so much or that I could love a bird so much. I have many health issues. I have been fighting cml (leukemia) for the past 11 years or so. The chemotherapy medication is about $20,000 per month. insurance expects me to be able to cover a $5000 copay. i don't know anyone who can pay a $5000 copay every month, thank God there is always copay assistance and other programs out there that can help with these things. Then I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis which I was diagnosed in 2020 when I had to leave work because I could no longer get out of bed and stay awake. Now I get Simponi infusions every 8 weeks for RA. Life can be a struggle some days. I also struggle with depression and anxiety which does not help with everything going on I have been fighting every day since I was 18 with my mental health, in and out of therapy. I will continue to fight to be the best that I can be, I have started going to the chiropractor every week for about 4 months now. it has been a huge help. Every day I am trying to improve my stamina to be able to live my best life. Yes of course, there are setbacks. I will not give up though. I will keep on fighting; I will keep trying to give my smile to every stranger I can because I know what it's like not to have a smile to share.

Please be extra careful sending postcards. Lately I have received a lot of postcards I don't want to save or send to my partner. Postcards should have no bends or stains. I am not looking for perfection but when all the cards you send are damaged, they are no good. Also please don't send anything with gluten, I have an intolerance to gluten.

Comment: That was quite the heavy envelope dropping in my mailbox... THANK YOU! I already have a recipient in mind for the bicycle pc and I'm sure the other ones will find a good home in time too. Thank you also for all the extras; very generous of you! <3 Some of my favourite parts of spring are the trees in full bloom, the freshness in the air and all the birds singing.

Comment: Thanks for the lovely package. I haven't seen any of the cards before and really like them, the Big Foot one made me giggle for sure. Thanks for the extras you sent too, but I also want to thank you for the lovely note on your swap card about your birds and the kind words of encouragement. That is so sweet to send people and you should know it made me smile. Have a wonderful day!

Comment: Thank you so much for the envelope of goodies! The postcards are awesome (I'm tempted to keep that cute owl one for myself!) and the extras were a wonderful surprise. The poem was beautiful and I LOVE the "kindness matters" card. Even the stamps on the envelope were unique. Everything about this was a win - thank you so much!

Many thanks for the September Private Swap! Of course I love all the Disney postcards and stickers and the cute Richard Scarry card that my 5 year old grandson will immediately want to claim! Love the other pc's too and your extra swap cards. You are such a great inspiration to us all with the way you strive to stay positive and find joy in each day! Thanks so much for that.
