My interests and passions are so varied and abundant.  I'm a cancer survivor and more than elated to be alive.  I knew that life was precious but will never take it for granted again.  Ever!

I love to spend time with my only child, who just turned 19 in December.  I also love to read, write, paint, draw, take pictures, travel, garden, camp, swim, fish, take nature walks, and just about anything else as long as it's peaceful and productive.  Creation is one of my biggest hobbies; doesn't really matter what I'm creating; creation brings me peace of mind and warms my heart completely.

I am a lover, for sure!

Occupation: Certified Hypnotherapist (SBHTC) http://www.sylvia.org/ (follow the hypnosis link for more information), and Photographer http://3smilingeyes.smugmug.com/  

I also write poetry and am published.  I leave you with something special I wrote for a full moon on 1/25/05.  Although it's rather short, I think it drives me home beautifully... enjoy!

                Dancing With the Moon

             My heart rings out a melody
              my mind picks up the tune
              I two-step in Gods garden
                dancing with the moon

               The stars of observation
                are glistening all above
                 as if to show approval
              or recognition of my love

           My lungs feast on the night air
               the sun will be here soon
                 I'll rest, albeit shortly
          so I can dance with him at noon
