In high school, I seriously considered becoming a Marine nurse............. but other events happened, and life took a totally different turn for me. I also considered having a large family...... and that did become a reality, and I did become a nurse.
Little decisions that we make can make drastic changes in our life's pathway.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Human lives are full of endless possibilities! We are only required to open our minds to find them and then select one for living! That is the reason why I did not end up as a walker in the falling rains or a hermit either.

When I was in high-school I started a sign-painting business. I painted names on fishing boats and logging trucks, made posters for events etc. After high school I expanded my business to include the use of a dust-free space to paint cars and motor-cycles. One day a handsome, young man contacted me to paint a logo on his car.....both doors and the hood. He was a travelling salesman and wanted his company logo. I did the measurements and we worked out the style......When our meeting was over and the appointment was made, he asked me out to dinner and I accepted. We were immediately attracted to each other and after dinner went to a club and slow-danced........He was only in town for a week and we made the most of it.....I painted his car and he was beside me the whole time wearing a gas-mask, goggles and full coveralls.......The afternoon before he left we went on a picnic beside a small river and he said the sound it made over the boulders reminded him of home and how he had applied for a promotion and was pretty sure he would get it, If he did, it would mean he could be home in Utah, USA..........I asked him to tell me about his home.

He was a bit reluctant to talk about it, but he said he thought he was falling in love with me, and I needed to know that he would always live there. He came from generations of a fundamentalist Mormon sect that believed that having plural wives was the true path to God........and....wait for it.....to becoming a God......I was gob-smacked....I had never heard of Mormonism and it sounded laughably ridiculous to me......especially the part about Jesus coming to American and burying gold tablets etc.........He said that that they have been inter marrying among themselves for too long and he was given a mission to bring fertile young women into the sect. Women who were willing to share him with other wives........New blood...........

Just think, I could have numerous sister-wives and dozens of children by now......hundreds of grandchildren instead of just 3.
