I was born in Wharton, Texas in 1956. (Yes, that makes me 52 years old.) My family moved to Phoenix, AZ later that year so I'm as close to being a Phoenix native without being born here as you can get. I've lived here all but one of those years. I spent a year in Hagerstown, MD to see what the other end of our country was like. It was beautiful but not as beautiful as here. Massage has always come naturally to me. Even as a child I was always happy to rub a sore neck or aching shoulders. My friends and family loved it and it was their encouragement that led me to do it professionally. Thank you to all of you and I'm really sorry that I have to charge you now! LOL When I chose to go to school for massage there was only one accredited massage college here in Phoenix, Phoenix Therapuetic Massage College, so I went there in '93. I graduated with a 4.0, became a Phoenix licensed massage therapist, obtained my National Certification and joined the American Massage Therapy Association. For the first two years I specialized in working with the disabled and elderly. I even took CNA training so that I could learn to use a gait belt and be able to transfer clients from their wheelchairs to my massage table and back as needed. In '94 I moved on to working in a massage shop. Unfortunately I had to give up working on clients in wheelchairs because the shop isn't very wheelchair friendly. Because I love massage and because of my AMTA membership and now state licensing requirements I have always kept up on continuing education. Most of those classes are taken through the Southwest Institute of the Healing Arts (SWIHA). They are currently the premier massage and bodywork school here and maintain a standard of excellence that is unsurpassed. I try to do the same with my massage. I am happily married and the mother of two adult daughters and five feline sons. I love my family and country above all and for that reason I am passionately involved in the fight against illegal aliens. Immigration is done legally so I refuse to call anyone who comes into this country illegally an immigrant. That, to me, is an insult to all who have come here legally and honestly. My grandparents came here legally from Mexico and passed down a great love and respect for this country. I have have passed that on to my children and hopefully all who I meet. I have no hate for the illegal aliens who come to our country to make a better life. I understand that desire. My grandparents had that same desire when they came here from Mexico. I still don't want them here unless they come here LEGALLY. I see them as a threat to our national security, public health and our sovreignty. They are dividing our country while ignoring our laws and disrespecting our people, language and American Heritage. That is just plain wrong to me. I don't blame the illegals for this. I blame their countries' governments and our own government. I used to question why our government was allowing this to go on when we have always had laws in place to prevent or stop it. Why do they refuse to enforce our immigration laws? Why do they look the other way while people break these laws? I never used to believe that our government would ever do anything to bring our country to ruins. I always laughed at those who were always talking about conspiracies. I just blew them off as paranoid whackos. After all that I've seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears I am convinced that I was totally wrong. Now I understand why they don't care about illegal immigration. I understand why our gas prices are crazy, our unemployment rates are rising, people are losing their homes and our economy is going to hell. I don't know how to make others aware of what's going on. All that I can do is voice my opinions and try to point you in the right direction. It's all up to you to do the research... if you really want to find the truth. For those who care and want to find out for themselves go to OPERATION AWAKENING and start with clicking on the link at the left called EndGame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement. After you watch EndGame I recommend Battle for the Republic to see why our government doesn't want to secure our borders and doesn't care about illegal immigration. Be warned, it's not a very comforting thing to view but it is ESSENTIAL to know for the survival of our country and future of our children. Go ahead... call me a paranoid whacko... I understand all too well what some people who read this will be thinking. I don't blame you! I once thought that way too but I just had to look for myself. What I've seen is frightening and bothers me far more than anything that anyone out there could call me.
Everyone is welcome to share their view. All I ask is that you PLEASE keep it respectful. We all have the right to agree or disagree but nobody has the right to be rude or vulgar here.
