Dianna's Story
Life
Life has been a series of lessons... I
tried college, but found it was not the
right arena for me and stepped directly
into my career (graphic artist).
When back and forth for 16 years with my
beloved husband, Den, who has now passed
away.
Have one child, Arrianne, who's 13 and
my pride and joy (and at times, my
greatest trial... God I love
adolescence).
My mother, Joan, moved in with me after
my husband died... so we are an all-girl
household... (cept for the cat).
I strive to keep my life peaceful and
enjoy painting and writing when I get a
minute... or gardening. I also enjoy
watching my daughter develop into her
own person and encourage it... despite
the challenges and chaos that brings
about.
It will be intriguing to see how friends
and acquaintances have lived their lives
and I look forward re-connecting.

Wow.... life marches on. My daughter is now 17 and in her Senior year..... I have married again and am now known as Dianna Thorstensen and have lived in the mountain community of Lytle Creek, Ca for the past 3 years with my husband Kenneth. ...Expand for more
Still an artist, you can see my work on dia--t.com, and have connected here and there with old friends. I have published some poetry, which was selected for recording (who'd have thought?)... and am at a cross-roads in my life, having been diagnosed with Fibromyalazia (which has really put a spoke in my wheel). Hope all of you out there are doing wonderfully and have been blessed.

After 10 years with the same, I am now single again. I am officially disabled and we are a 3 girl household again with 2 male rabbits, a male australian shepherd and a gaggle of chickens. My daughter has graduated from college with a double BA and is now working with autistic children. I am in the process of (paperwork, paperwork, paperwork) of putting together a non-profit using art to raise money for various charities such as operation smile, Red Cross, ASPCA... to name a few. Something to keep me busy and feeling like I am contributing to the world. Arri and I take care of my mother... and soon my aunt, then we will be a 4 girl household. Stayed tuned. Love to hear from you on facebook.
