English, American Sign Language

MY FAMILY (HUSBAND DEAF-ALUMNI OF FLORIDA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF AND OUR TWO HEARING TEENAGERS-CODA'S), FELLOWSHIPING AND SERVING OUR DEAF COMMUNITY, TEACHING, FIELD RESEARCH, READING, WRITING, ATTENDING EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS AND CONFERENCES, TRAVELING, UNDERSTANDING CULTURES, LANGUAGES AND PEOPLE, SWIMMING, COMPUTERS, MUSIC

LIKE TO READ HEALTH AND MEDICAL BOOKS. I READ BOOKS RELATED TO DEAF CULTURE, TEACHING AMERICIAN SIGN LANGUAGE, FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND BODY LANGUAGE. I LOVE REFERENCE BOOKS THAT DEAL WITH RESEARCH, WRITING PAPERS AND TEACHING ALL SUBJECTS FROM K-12 TO COLLEGE. I ALSO LOVE WORD STUDIES BOOKS IN SEVERAL LANGUAGES BESIDES ASL, ENGLISH, AND HEBREW, GREEK AND SPANISH. I AM ALWAYS STUDYING CONCEPTS, LANGUAGE USE OF IDIOMS AND WORDS RELATED TO CULTURE. BIBLE, PSYCHOLOGY AND HISTORY ARE FAVORITE SUBJECTS.

I HAVE AN ARTISTIC LOVE FOR MUSIC AND POETRY. I WRITE MY OWN POEMS AND SONGS. I LOVE IT WHEN MY KIDS SING ME A NEW SONG. I LOVE THE OLD TIME HYMNS, GOSPEL, WORSHIP AND COUNTRY MUSIC. THREE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS ARE, WRAP ME IN YOUR ARMS, ABOVE ALL, I BELIEVE AND HOLD ON. THE HOMECOMING HOUR OF WORSHIP (GAITHERS) ARE MY FAVORITE WORSIP CHRISTIAN PROGRAM! I WELCOME A NEW SONG OR POEM FROM YOU THAT ARE HEART FELT AND REAL! SING UNTO THE LORD A NEW SONG! THE HEART SEES WHAT THE EARS CANNOT HEAR!

SOME OF THE TV PROGRAMS I LIKE ARE TRINITY, LIFETIME, HALLMARK, FAMILY, SCI-FI AND THE HISTORY CHANNEL. 7 HEAVEN, TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, IT'S A MIRACLE, QUANTUM LEAP, CSI, CROSSING JORDAN, CLOSED CASE FILES, MURDER SHE WROTE, MURDER 101, UNSOlVED MYSTERIES, MY FAVORITE SHOWS. I LIKE MYSTERY MOVIES THAT ARE SOLVED AND JUSTICE WON! I ENJOY TRUE AND COURAGOUS STORIES, ACTION AND NATURALLY FUNNY MOVIES THAT ARE NOT DESTROYED BY A SEXUAL SCENE OR SWEAR WORD… EXPECIALLY WHEN THEY TAKE THE NAME OF GOD IN VAIN… IT BOTHERS ME!

I HAVE MY MASTERS DEGREE IN EDUCATION. I ENJOY WORKING WITH DEAF, HARD OF HEARING AND MULTI HANDICAPED PEOPLE. I FOUNDED A DEAF SERVICE CENTER IN 1990 AND HAVE BEEN IN THE NON-PROFIT DEAF MINISTRY FOR MANY YEARS. I LOVE TEACHING AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE, TRAINING INTERPRETERS, REACHING OUT TO CHRISTIAN HOMESCHOOLERS, SPENDING TIME WITH MY KIDS AND FAMILY. FELLOWSHIPING WITHIN THE DEAF COMMUNITY, READING A GOOD BOOK ESPECIALLY THE BIBLE, LEARNING SOMETHING NEW, MAKING FRIENDS AND ADVOCATEING FOR A LITTLE HEAVEN ON EARTH. I HAVE NERVE DEAFNESS. I'M DEAF AND BEEN THAT WAY SINCE 2 1/2 MONTHS OLD. I NEVER WENT TO A DEAF SCHOOL NOR HAD SPECIAL TRAINING TO TALK AND READLIPS BUT I DO IT FLUENTY. THIS IS A DIFFICULT TASK. MOST DEAF CAN ONLY READ ABOUT 30 % TO NOTHING. THE MAJORYITY OF TIME I READ LIPS 100% BUT SOMETIMES THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. IT DEPENDS ON EVIRONMENTAL AND PERSONAL FACTORS RELATED TO THE PERSON SPEAKING. THIS IS WHEN I USE ASL.

JULY 4, 1977-I BROKE MY NECK, SEVERED MY SPINAL CORD IN THE C3 AND C4, VERBRATE. C5 AND C6 WERE FRACTURED IN BETWEEN. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS 14 1/2 YEARS OLD IN A DIVING ACCIDENT. I DOVE INTO 24 INCHES OF WATER IN A MAN MADE LAKE IN ANDOVER, CT. STUPID UH! THEY TOOK THE WATER OUT WHEN THE WATER LEAVEL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HIGH (DEEP). I WAS GIVEN LESS THAN 30% TO SURVIVE, BECAME A TOTAL QUADRAPLIGIC FROM MY NECK DOWN WITHOUT ANY FEELINGS AND BEARLY ABLE TO BREATHE. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE, FEEL OR WALK. I LOST ALL ABILITY TO USE MY HANDS TO WRITE, FEED MYSELF AND COMMUNICATE IN SIGN LANGUAGE. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MEDICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET MY FEELINGS BACK AND IF I DID NOT GET MY FEELINGS WITHIN 24 TO 48 HOURS OF THE ACCIDENT. THEN I WOULD NEVER FEEL AGAIN. INSTEAD I REGAINED ALL MY FEELINGS IN MY BODY FROM MY NECK DOWN INSTANTLY THROUGH PRAYER ABOUT SIX DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, LATER MY HANDS AND MOVEMENT MIRACULOUS RESTORED. I AM NOW A BLESSED MOTHER OF TWO BEAUTIFUL TEENAGERS.
