I hold a BS degree in Education and a MA in Higher Education. Having taught in both public and private schools, I retired as an instructor with the NC community college system in 2015. My husband, Lynn, and I have three children and six grandchildren.
Being a longtime beach lover, I enjoy walking along and relaxing beside a sandy shore. The ebb and flow of waves toppling and crashing onto the seashell-strewn shore, leaving a trail of suds on the sand as the salty, greenish-colored water recedes, has a calming, almost tranquilizing effect on me. My ability to sit on a beach for hours gazing out upon the vast expanse of water, somewhat hypnotized by its sights, sounds, and smells, has never waned. Not in the least.
The mountains are just as delightful to me as the ocean. Hiking along wooded trails listening to the enchanting sounds of the forest takes me back to the days of my childhood when I roamed through the woods behind my mama’s dream house, enthralled by the wonders and beauty of God’s glorious creation. My family and I still hike wooded trails as often as we can. We have enjoyed some of our most special times together as we walked along leaf-strewn paths, sharing thoughts and truths about life, love, and lessons learned.
