I have been very Blessed! While growing up my parents were  Foreign Missionaries and I have traveled and lived in many different countries.  Growing up in a Christian home (Huntsville) and my father being a Methodist Minister and Civil Rights Activist, this is where I Experienced, Learned, Accepted, and Lived the “Love” of Jesus Christ. My parents always  taught me to have Respect and Compassion for all others. We ALL are God’s children!
