Hi there and thanks for being curious and interested enough to stop by and explore my opinions about myself.
I am a lot of things, including sick enough I'm currently living on SSI (all of $744.50 a month) instead of being self-supporting. I should be able to be self-supporting, and that is my goal, asap. I will do this by writing and selling my first book. I have been saving every report, note, EVERYTHING about raising my adopted son since before he was born. He is now 19, and my first major project is writing a book about the experience of raising a child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I am Desiree Alyce McClain, but to my friends I'm either Dezi, ms.dezi57 or Stormy.
I am always working on something with beads or other art or words. I write about the human condition, a variety of health issues inc. endometriosis, FAS, poetry, living with disabilities that the rest of the world cannot see, adoption of special needs children, life in general. Mostly I just live my life and do the best I can with each day that I am lucky enough to be alive!
Oh yeah, I'm also an ordained non-denominational minister that doesn't believe that God and spirituality are reached through only one book or faith. And some of my poetry is published online at www.poetry.com under my maiden name Desiree McClain.
Who I'd like to meet:
There are a lot of people I'd really like to meet, but a lot of them have already crossed over. Artists, writers, musicians, philosophers. Mme. Helena Blavatsky. All 4 of The Highwaymen. People who try (or tried) to make a difference in the world are high on my list. Harry Chapin & Jim Croce weren't just great singer-songwriters, they were great humanitarians as well.
Willie Nelson and Natalie Maines. Neil Young and Jackson Browne. Joan Baez and Wayne Dyer. Steve Earle and the Dalai Lama. Ghandi. Dorothy Parker and Poe. Patty Munter of NOFAS and MaryLou Ballweg of the Endometriosis Association.
And I hope to meet again all those who've gone on ahead of me. Esp. my daddy Warren, who tried to teach me that cowgirls don't cry, and my daddy Al, who passed his EMT bug on to me, my son's birth mother Debbie Lopez, my father and grandparents and my sister who took herself out of the game in Oct. 2007. I've met some great people I'd love to meet again in this life, too, that are still kicking, like Al Young, former CA Poet Laureate and noted author Floyd Salas.
