My first name is Deanna, but everyone has called me "Dede" since I was knee-high. When I first found this website, I was astonished at how many group topics and formats seemed to coincide with the issues I am facing in my life right now (good and trying). It was so hard to not feel as though I could benefit from the numerous of the groups' visions and opportunities.

     I turned 30 in March, and am recovering from a major surgery on my back. Before my injury, I loved Ballroom dancing - competing, performing, choreographing, and teaching. I am also a Paramedic, and have 2 classes to finish in the Spring in order to finally earn my second college degree. I went back because I decided that I would much rather get my Associate's and do something I love, rather than using my four year degree doing something that was more profitable, but made me feel unhappy and incomplete.

     I am seperated from my husband, but extremely close to my Mom and Dad. I was an only child growing up, though I always yearned for siblings.

    I am open to all suggestions from people of every walk of life, religion, etc.. Please feel free to contact me anytime. I consider advice, suggestions, and opinions that anyone chooses to share with me as gifts. As well, I sincerely hope that my experiences and communications with others might help someone else.
