I
started my martial arts training in January of 1993 and received my
black belt in 1997. Since then the martial arts has been part of my
life. I conceived the Karate Smart program in 2001. In 2002 I was
teaching my first Karate Smart class in the Northside ISD.
For
most part I have been a stay at home mom. I have four children; three
boys and one daughter. My daughter is my oldest and is married and
has a son. My second son is in the Air Force. (support our troops), my
third child is college, my last child is in high school. They are
great kids and have been supportive of my martial arts training.
Besides
karate I also enjoy journal writing and reading spiritual
books. Some of my favorite books have been: Imitation of Christ, The
Four Agreement, No Ordinary Moments, The Alchemist. These are just a
few books that have touched my life in some significant way. It is not
unusual for me to pick these books up again even if just to read a few
pages.
