I am chaos with temporary moments of organization & zen. I am friendly with a steel guard around my heart, & I need to let it down so that I can know not everyone has permission to hurt me.
I have never had adult baby teeth on the bottom front, the front two. I lost one baby tooth when I was in my late 20's and I still have the left front baby tooth. Just waiting for the Tooth Fairy.
My Philosophy
You are going to fall down. You are going to fail. No matter how hard you try, it will happen. And someone will be watching, even if you do not see them. But this is a human condition, it happens to us all. We need to learn to accept being alone, and learn to love ourselves. We will all get up, say I am sorry, and dust ourselves off and get on our way with the help of our community.
What Gives Me Hope
children, nature, art, seeing older people still in love and holding hands, pictures from outer space, love stories, stories of how someone remembers how to overcome an obstacle in life, finding a way to help someone,
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
If I were Mayor, I would have all schools, Pre-K through all of the colleges and Universities to have a mandated amount of hours to do charity work of their choice in our local area. Something that has to be hands-on, where they get to know the people and understand their hardship.
What/who changed my life and why
My lover is the person that changed my life. It is a long, very long story, but 14 years later and I am still very happy.
