I am a 47 year old woman. I am a mother, a grandmother, a sister, daughter. I am wise and naive, thoughtful and foolish, analytical and intuitive. I have been a wife, a widow and am now a partner.

I am a writer, and an artist having earned my living by my creativity for most of my adult life. My current focus is body art in the form of custom permanent tattoo and found object/mixed media mosaic and sculpture.

I am a feminist, a humanist, an environmentalist; a witch and a stone femme lesbian. I am a crone before my time, having passed my moontides for some years now and having survived too many of those I love, including my soulmale and one true husband, Jerry, gone too soon at 45, in January of 1998 and my precious baby grandson, Bishop Alexander, who passed from this world after too short a stay on October 18, 2007.
I am a recovering alcoholic and addict of 21+ years of sobriety. I have clinical depression, PTSD and panic syndrome which are treated and manageable. I have fibromyalgia which is managed by diet, meditation and self awareness. I am struggling with acceptance of the term “disabled” as it applies to me.

I am a free thinker, I question authority, am an embarrassed conspiracy theorist, and a pretty far left activist.

Do you have 2.3 children, a corporate job, walk in closets and a white picket fence?

I don?t!

Come see how the other half lives at Thorne?s World, where a pair of lesbians are eking out a sustainable lifestyle on 40 acres of desert scrub.

We rescue parrots, assorted critters, and save garbage from the landfills. We precycle, recycle and upcycle; creating art from junk and treasure from trash.

Follow along on the journey of a witch and a butch in love, building a roadside attraction and spiritual retreat off the grid!
