Toni-Jo's Story
Life
Hi everyone,
I have been living way up here in Seattle since 1975 and loving the mountains, fresh air and the culture rich environment.
I have been teaching for Head Start in the Shoreline School Dist. since 1984. I can't think of any better job on earth.
I married in 1977 to a man named Big Bear and soon had Little Bear and Raven-Tia who are now 26 and 27 years old.
I have been happily divorced for 15 years but remain friends with Big Bear which makes co-grandparenting our precious 2 year old granddaughter Teah-Miraje Saanuukaa Julia Alexander-Morris fun.
Having married into a Native American family has been an adventure. My father in-law was the Chief of their tribe and a wise and brave man. I learned so much from him, his life and philosophy. He has been missed by all since his passing i...Expand for more

We are a very musical family. Raven-Tia has done so producing with Rap artist, she especially loves discovering new beats. She also is a Medical Assistant.
Bear has a Auto Electronics business, and he is a full time Chef, he graduated form Johnsons and Wales University in Providence RI (same school Emeril went to). We eat good at our house, and it shows on my waist. I myself just love to sing. Singing comes in handy working with children, no matter what I say it always sounds better in song. I wish I had known I had a decent voice sooner in life, choir would have been fun in school. You snooze you loose I guess.
My favorite music is country, but I will listen to anything. I have a little 14 lb. Austrailian Silkie Terrior and my hobby is anything to do with being the BEST Grandma on the planet.
