I am a woman who is torn between a love of being barefoot in her garden and living simply off of the land, and a love of new technology and pursing a degree in nursing. I am a woman, a wife, a mom, and a daughter. I care deeply about the world, about people, about animals and about life. I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia on December 8th, 2011. My blog is changing to reflect the changes in my life, my thoughts, my spirituality and my heart.
