Biography of a true beauty:

Born in Marshall, MO.
Child of Billy Joe & Rosemary Arndt
Raised in the Heartland of America.
I am so thankful to be the Woman I am today I owe it to all the blessings bestowed upon me during life,
even more so for those blessings I received thru experiencing agonizing internal turmoil. I grew and developed
in an underprivileged, insecure, tuff existence; daily horrified by physical and emotional abuse from home and
school. I grew up in rural Mo, beset by birth trauma triggering facial paralysis resulting in asymmetrical
facial features. During the elementary school years, I was tormented without mercy because a cricked smile

and lazy eye. I soon became ashamed of my smile and myself. At 8 yrs. Old, our family endured a
disturbing divorce destroyed our world. Mother raised all of us well on her own. We may have seldom had
what we wanted BUT always had what we needed. At age fifteen, I met my first "true love" in school,
and in June, I had sex for the first time. A month later, I found myself terrified struggling to find the
words to tell my parents I not only had sex for the first time but as a result, I became a pregnant. Before my
child was born left my mothers, not wanting burden her with another mouth to feed. In Sept, I was living in
my own residence, quit school, and started a full time job a local popular restaurant. I struggled; at times, I
was petrified by my reality. At age 19 I passed the GED test and shortly after, I became engaged to
the love of my life and father of my children. We were married when I was 20. We soon added another child to
our family. During the seven year marriage I was faced with test Results confirming I suffer from a
difficult to treat troublesome hereditary disease. My love had another child with another woman. Just nine
months before my family as I knew it and lifelong dream of forever ended. I was next to my dying father
reluctantly and woefully requesting my father be taken off life support, and along with my brothers at the side, our
fathers hospital bed he passed at the age of 53. My husband and I divorced due to unrecognizable atrocities
that tore us apart. I knew my husband took pride and care providing for and being father figure any kid could
have. I made the toughest and the most unselfish decision I ever made. I agreed the children would continue
their residency and schooling in the small safe friendly community they always called home. I moved less than
an hour away struggled with my medical condition, enrolled in college courses and worked long hours at local
factory. I was faced again with challenging financial troubles, fighting for relief from at times debilitating effects
imposed by my medical condition. I persevered and even though my life far from a fairy tale. I have let go and
let love I smile and laugh feel happy within my heart even as the world provides obstacles daily. If I had a
do over in life and was guaranteed a substantially easier worry and pain free beginning and end I would decline.
I am truthfully grateful for each moment in my life ALL good and ALL bad. Without it
All I would not be who I am today. I feel so very lucky to understand true happiness some search for and
chase after without rest and expire before realizing it. I now enjoy life in the face of any bad happenings, at
31years and have a surplus to share AND would give it away to every soul on earth but cannot. I have
experienced endured and completed a metamorphosis emerging and I now smile feeling heart strong, intelligent,

adaptive, confident, compassionate, and content. I am certain that my renewed understanding on happiness
changed my existence by stopping the constant turmoil robbing me from it. I am pound to have had the
experiences in life that released me from my personal hell on earth. So please take time to Always welcome
and share all that is beautiful. Never take the time to welcome or create moments that hurt.
I am best known today for not for any amount of outer beauty but for extraordinary internal beauty.
Best Regards
