About Me
My name is Andrea and I from Michigan in the USA. I have an angel baby named RaeAnn Sophia…she was born on April 7, 1992 and passed just minutes after being born. At that time I was in an abusive relationship and sadly she was a casualty of that relationship. So, yes, I am a survivor of abuse/domestic violence…unfortunately it took me many years to be able to “get out” and then many more to “recover” myself.
As f0r my current self…I live in the southern part of Virginia in the USA. I have many furry kids and they include dogs, cats, bird, rabbit, and russian tortoise. My dogs are Chien,, Oliver, Sting, and Sophie. Chien (13 years) and Oliver (4 years) are both Westies and Sting and Sophie (both 2 years) are Japanese Chins. My cats are Cocoa (13 years), Orange Blossom (4 year former feral), Mitzi (almost 2 years former feral), Poppy (almost 2 years former feral), Macaroni (almost 1 year former feral), Cheese (almost 1 year former feral), Michael (4 months former semi-feral), and Micah (4 months former semi-feral). My bird is Dipity and he is Conure (almost 8 years). My bunny is a Lionhead named Elliot (almost 4 years). My Russian Tortoise is named Wuzzy and he is approximately 20-25 years old.
I live with my Mom who is partially disabled due to spinal and neck issues due to a car accident many years ago so I help take care of her.
Several years ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Panic Attacks and I also have high blood pressure issues, IBS, porphyria, and CFS. Due to the chemical makeup of my body being so sensitive I am unable to tolerate most medications so I am pretty much medication free.
This blog is the story of my life told by me in my own words!
