Who am I? I was born Phyllis Joan Walker in Middletown, Connecticut on December 20, 1934, at 3:30 on a Thursday afternoon. Much to my Mother's dismay or delight, I was a cesarean baby. I remember being lifted out into the world, but that is another story. I lived my first 4 years in Ct., then the family moved to Bangor, Maine for a year. Parents decided to move back to Ct. and promptly got a divorce. I quit high school at 16 and foolishly got married. Two years later my son was born and two years after that I divorced. Went to night school and got my GED. Following that I attended Moody School of Commerce, taking all business courses for two years. Remarried at age 24, resulting in another divorce 4 years later. I remained single for many years, enjoying life and searching for me, the real me that no one could take away. During this time, at age 43, I attended Phoenix, College for three years. I decided to take things that I had always wanted to do. My Major was Theater (all aspects.) I was in several plays, was always in charge of costumes, did some stage design and lighting. Fulfilling one's childhood dreams even on a small scale, is indeed rewarding. I also took Photography, Writing and Emergency Medical Technician. I knew the EMT training would help in the Geriatrics field. I graduated with honors and a BA Degree. College was a challenge that I enjoyed to the fullest. I worked in Geriatrics for 4 years and again found myself restless. I decided to go to school again and get an CAM degree. This is for Certified Apartment Management. I did that and managed Apt. complexes for 4 years. At this time I was notified that my Uncle had been in a terrible car accident, killing his wife, my Mother's sister. Of course, I flew back for the funeral and discovered my Uncle had beginning Alzheimer's and also Parkinsons disease. I gave up my career in apt. management to go back and care for him. This lasted almost 4 years till he had to be put in a nursing home. Do you see a pattern of 4 repeating itself over and over again? It turns out that 4 is my fate number in numerology and has led my life in many twists and turns. Through the years I have had many unusual things happen in my life. I have always been drawn to the Metaphysical World. View my page on The Metaphysical to find out more.
