| i attended Catholic grammar school and high school, and graduated from college in 1972. i went on to drama school and there i experienced the onset of a major mental illness. since then my main focus has been on survival, recovery and spiritual growth. my best therapies are unconditional acceptance and love. and i am now emerging from my cocoon of many years as the peculiar, multi-faceted and more human butterfly my Creator intended me to be. i'm most grateful for simply being alive. |
