Welcome to Pam's Homepage

Welcome to my home on the internet. I have recently done some revamping of this site to offer alittle more visual creativity. This is where you can keep up with me and my family and see any new pics I have to offer.
Kira, 14 and showing it

I have two children, Kira (14), and Brian (12), who keep me hopping all the time. They are into all sorts of things and have their pages here also. Check them out and you'll see why they keep me so busy. I also have a new stepson, Jonathan, who is opening my eyes to what my own children could be like in just a few years. He's a super guy and I hope to get to know him better and better over the years.

Now you see what keeps me so busy, but as you can also see, it's worth every minute. ;)

In August (1998) I finished the Computer Systems Administration course at Microcomputer Technology Institute, and am trying to attain the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification. The one thing that made me strive for such a high goal is that I overheard my x-husband say "She will never be good for anything but flipping hamburgers" at the onset of our divorce. I was a stay home mom for most of the 15 years I was married to him, with bouts of trying my hand at Real Estate here and there. So now, I must admitt that I have the "I'll show him!" attitude. ;) Two weeks before I finished school, I got a job with Shell Services International working in their Infrastructure Technology Services - Customer Service. It's a great company and I'm really enjoying it. John is wonderful in the fact that he encourages me to go for things I could only dream of. I think I do the same thing for him. It's my belief that that's one thing two people who are living a life together should always keep in mind. Help each other reach their goals and love each other truely and deeply. How can you go wrong?
Notice that tatoo? ;) That came when I was 35 (now 39), and I decided to go for it. My younger sister (Julie) and my niece (Sherina) got theirs done first, then when I came to town they said it was my turn now! They told me over and over again how it wouldn't hurt a bit! (HA!) I picked out a small fairy, about 1 1/2 inches, brought it to the tatoo artist, who said he couldn't do anything so small. My oldest sister came to rescue me from making such a big mistake of ruining my body just then. She soon discovered I was determined and, being the artist she is, promptly said "If you're going to go ahead and get one, it might as well be a good one!" She promptly began to draw a version of the small fairy. I watched in amazement of her talent, with the pit of my stomach churning as it took form at about 4 inches long, tons of color, but extremely beautiful. I bit the bullet and exposed the sensitive area of my choice. At the first pin prick I thought "Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into!!!" During the 1 1/2 hours it took I nearly passed out twice. I still can't believe I made it through that ordeal. The reward came when my wound healed and I had the most beautiful tatoo I had ever seen. After all these years I still love it, good thing, huh!

I love X-Files!! I haven't missed a single show!
Star Trek is right up there at the top of my list too! ;)

I have to mention my love of email penpals. I have made some very wonderful friends, including my best friend and new husband, John, that have been with me through thick and thin. I have pen pals in The Netherlands, Canada, The States, and several other interesting places. Sometimes we may not write for a while, but we always take up where we left off. These friends are very dear to me and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

I am a long time member (since 1975) of ECKANKAR, the Religion of Light and Sound. It has taught me total responsibility for everything in my life, how to explore my inner worlds and to love completely. It's impossible to cover it all here so I've included a link below for those interested.

Some of My Favorite Links:

Eckankar - The Religion of Light and Sound
Angelfire - Easiest Free Home Pages
Stephen King Web Site - This is a very good source for info on him and his work
