On this day in 1979 I woke up early and was whisked away to Albuquerque, NM by my then husband. Our destination was Presbyterian hospital and the maternity floor. Several hours later I gave birth to my only daughter, Christina Marie.Christina was for a very young Swedish queen and Marie was for her paternal grandmother and maternal great grandmother.
She was named before she arrived because I had undergone an amniocentesis early in my pregnancy, due to my age, and knew her gender. The cells did not grow the first time and the test had to be done again. It was at least four months before I knew for sure that I was carrying a healthy girl.
She was born on a Friday, but because we lived almost 100 miles away I had to stay in the hospital an extra day. My poor doctor was exhausted with all the births he made possible that weekend. I still have a clear picture of him sitting in a chair in my room waiting to talk to me.
So, Christina, I wish you a happy 39th birthday on this day, August 31, 2018.

- This blog began as a means to share my life adventures with my readers. My writing experience to that point included two published books; Wake Up! and A Gathering of Spirit and four years as a columnist for the Cibola Beacon. I have since added Journey of an Enlightened Egotist, Spirits of Cibola County, What Now My Love? A Writer's Journey and Adventures of a Chosen Messenger to my published work, all are available from Amazon.com Looking for ways to inspire others to write I created a writing group for senior citizens in 2012, a writing camp for children 2012-2015 and a communication group for a nursing home in 2013. In 2018 I created an online writing group.This move led to two others eventually removed do to lack of participation. A friend once told me to find my passion and share it and I would realize my purpose. She was right! Every time I have thought I should give up something happens to assure me that I am on the right path.
