As one who cares so much about the planet on which we live, as well as social justice issues and much more, I welcome you to visit with me! Let's create some networks and work together to save the species which we humans seem bent on destroying, and in the process learn more about them! I am passionate about life, the environment, and the killer whales which I study. I am a Masters Student (about to graduate!) in conflict analysis and resolution and the environment; thus, I care about many issues that create conflict, and am passionate about resolving conflict to create a more peaceful world! Come on . . . let's get to know each other!

TEACHING THE CIRCLE OF REBIRTH

Precious "Princess Tiffany"

One of the strongest emotions is FEAR. When we fear something, we reject it. Only through conquering our fears can we begin to see the light that is within each and every one of us, regardless of spritual path. Thus, we need learn to "control the fear rather than allowing the fear to control us!" Each belief system is self-chosen by right . . . and so I pray that all who read this will find the courage to overcome their fears. Togerher we can make a difference. Blessed Be!



IN LOVING MEMORY OF ALL THOSE WHO MADE THE GREATEST SACRIFICE OF ALL SO WE CAN BE FREE. AND IN SPECIAL MEMORY FOR SGT. STEWART, WHO SERVED WITH MY HUSBAND IN QANDAHAR, AFGHANISATN , AND WHO'S WIDOW FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO HAVE THE PENTGRAM DISPLAYED ON HIS HEADSTONE. BLESSED BE! WE MISS YOU ALL!!!

I would like to thank all my Care2 friends who have continued to send me messages, greetings, and love during the time I have been absent. I have now finished my degree and am awaiting receipt of it (it's in the mail!!! LOL) so I will have time to be around more. Your continued support and love means the world to me! Blessed be to all of you, and thank you again, from the very bottom of my heart! You are ALL AWESOME!!! Huggles, Maureen

And MERRY PART . . . Bright the cheeks and warm the Heart!
