I was born and raised in New Jersey, until my family packed our home and moved to our favorite vacation area near lake George, New York. It was our first chance to enjoy country living and it stayed in my heart. Even though we had to return to New Jersey in a few years and my adventures with animals had to take a back seat for most of my life , I knew I would return to rural living at some point. I have a BA in Psychology and I am a certified Holistic Health practitioner. I hold a US patent. In my adult years, I opened stores called "Paint N' Plaster Fun Factory", enjoying my craft with people of all ages. I am now living in the Ozarks, with my 2 daughters, enjoying animal adventures through my rescue- lovingheartequinerescue.com. I write from my front porch swing and I'm publishing a children's book called " The Adventures of Tuffy the Cat"... Coming soon.
