I started working with stones and crystals when I became ill with M.E. (myalgic encephalomyelitis) 27 years ago. Working with the gemstone chips made me feel better, while I was bedridden, and gave me something productive to do, while I was waiting for a return of lost energy.

I moved from Florida to Alaska two and a half years ago to continue on my journey back to health.

Ultimate goal is to find a house where my cousin Lisa and I can open up a bed & breakfast, with at least 6 cabins around the property designated for people who need long term healing. Also included in the vision, is a gift shop where we can display local artists' work, and a greenhouse so we can grow fresh vegetables.
