    I've thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful sharing of emotions &
    passions so will also "jump in".  As a nursing supervisor I was so
    stressed 'n unfulfilled tht it began to show outwardly.  Thus, a
    creative employee met me at a bead shop 'n got me involved doing
    simple pieces of jewelry.  I then purchased a beautiful pair of
    earrings at our local Sangre De Cristo Arts Center 'n wondered how
    various elements could be incorporated onto a glass base.  Having a
    wonderful friend who has a stained glass shop here, I eventually
    ordered a small kiln & begain my fusing journey.  A simple task,
    fusing. The kiln does the work.  Having worked my way through
    nursing by doing medical art work, the  creative aspect was
    submerged due to the reality of needing a job in nursing to survive
    financially.  I now "push the envelope" in any way I can, using a
    variety of elements & techniques that create awesome results.  It
    honestly feeds my soul & I love teaching this same joy to others.  I
    believe that glass is a mirror fed by images & rays which uplifts
    the spirit.  

    I'm so blessed by not having to rely on my business to survive,
    thanks to nursing.  I can be true to myself & actually get paid for
    my joy.  What a concept.  

    I'm so honored to be a part of this site & love the sharing &
    encouragement that all of you put forth.  One always gets back
    twofold  what they put out there in the universe.
