Life After Your Lesson Learned

Hello World

I am a 60-year-old woman coming up here in May 2015 that is paralyzed from the neck down.  I was a single mother parenting from a wheelchair since my son was five years old.  I had many challenges that I needed to overcome when disciplining my son without being able to hold him, so we had much eye contact.  I graduated from Mt. Hood Community College in 1992, and then I became a counselor for drug and alcohol users as a assist in skilled teacher.  In 2001 when Microsoft had come out with Windows I then learn how to be an affiliate marketer through Darryl [email protected].  Since then I have been running two computers one for which I surf only on the Internet with traffic exchanges, and then I met up with Xtream Global Marketing in 2004 meeting Ch�rie Hadly CEO and then working with Kent Todd which is now called KCHosting4U.com and he is a hosting company which sells domains and build websites, and is in charge of trek sites with Rich Parker who is the script writer of VS-Ten (Varisearch-10).  Many different venues are in place for having thousands of banners, websites, text sites, images and many different menageries.  

 I love to people watch wherever I park my wheelchair and giggle to myself about what ever was funny that I saw. I was raised around engines and hotrods, diesel trucks and later on Harleys. Prior to my motorcycle accident we had a 1962 Higgins Marine boat with a six cylinder Gray Marine engine that would pull five skiers. The Doris Day And Rock Hudson movie in their Chris-Craft wood boat. It was all wood but needed a new prop, and hole fixed in the bottom as well as paint job when we purchased it. After restoring this boat it became a classic on all rivers, and we hit every restaurant up and down every river and skied them all. We used to camp out at government Island with a lot of friends before they put a bicycle trail along the Columbia River. There was a small boat ramp that was rocky and dirt but used it so we did not have to fight the boat ramp crowd. I loved that boat. I have been on one boat ride since my accident with my brother in their 17 foot Sea swirl on Haag Lake, and transferring me was comical with two men taking me from my wheelchair to the boat and back to the wheelchair after a few hours in the boat pulling water skiers. I had a lot of fun. My life now is running two computers with two marketing businesses, and have two ebook stores online. I'm a graduate from Mt.Hood Community College with a degree in Mental Health Human Resources and started at Warner Pacific College for one term, and then back to the community college for more writing classes. I switched my passion for work when the Internet and Microsoft came alive to me when business was a better choice, so I could stay home and not hassle the long commute to and from a workplace because of the bumpy ride on the short Tri-Met bus for door to door services, and long hour one way sometimes two hours to get home. It's a great service for a one time trip, but for everyday I'm losing a lot of hours that I could be working or doing something else. 

I currently have a patent for a medical device, but have not built a prototype because of no funds. I didn't realize at that time it would cost me $6000 as a down payment to start building a prototype. My credit was not good, so I did not get a loan. So now it sits in my file and every time I see a commercial about inventions I want to cry. I could not find sponsors probably because I was an amateur. I had a great Christian lawyer in New York that we found from my church in Boring, Oregon. My doctor friend loaned me $1000 to purchase the patent, and I pay back the money to missions. He is awesome!

Sorry about the long letter but I just wanted you to know a little bit about me. I'm also an artist and paint by mouth, and I love music, and those spiritual wonders of life. I am a sun bather, and love those sunsets and the harvest moon. I was raised on the Clackamas River camping out at Austin Hot Springs and other campsites along the way. Fish Creek up off of Lolo Pass Road in Rhododendron or Zigzag I forget but I also return their with good memories. I learned how to tie a knott on my line, and put weights on with my uncle when I was around eight years old, and followed him up and down the river to find the best spots. I caught salmon down on the North fork Towards Seaside down the 8 mile loop to the fish hatchery where disabled people in wheelchairs are only allowed to fish or there is a huge fine. But I am allowed a care provider to stand with me and cast. I would love to go there as soon as my Van is fixed.
