Birthday Dec 07  
Languages English  
About Me I'm organized with work and unfortunately that doesn't carry over to my home, love my job, have a dry sense of humor, adore all animals (generally prefer them to people), and my idea of a vacation is being able to relax with a good book and spending time with my pets.

Wild Fact About Me We love animals in this home, so human guests need to be prepared to be outnumbered by critters!
My Philosophy "Amor Fati – 'Love Your Fate', which is in fact your life.” Friedrich Nietzsche
What Gives Me Hope The children I work with inspire and motivate me.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by mandating education about respecting animals & harsh penalties for harming them, completely changing the way public schools are managed, ensuring that everyone has access to free quality healthcare, reforming the justice system & removing people from prison for petty offenses to make room for serious offenders (because I'd be repealing the death penalty) and finding a way to significantly slow down or stop developers who seek to pave every inch of earth they can...that's during my first week.
What/who changed my life and why my therapist... :-)
What Bugs Me cell phones while driving or dining, George Bush and Co., People who let their dogs poo in my yard, people who can't drive, Walmart, coconut-reminds me of toenail clippings, people who lie, collection agencies, spam, ignorance  
Passions environment, my pets...my babies!, learning from my students, continual self-education, books  
Inspirations some very special students I've known, my pets, watching the squirrels munch seeds, nature, music  
What Scares Me our Government at present, when the toilet backs up into the tub, Religious extremism of ANY religion, palmetto bugs, apathy, running with scissors  
  Favorites
Role Models Atticus Finch  
Quotation If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
Mother Teresa

A thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform us.

Another year has passed and you have become even more lovely. Happy birthday Michele. We have a common thread in your birthday. You were born on the day my dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor. He was a good man. So enjoy your day and allow yourself the opportunity to do something for just you. After all, you too are God's blessing to the planet. Be well.
