Gift suggestions for happiness: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect." -- Oren Arnold
"Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness." Oliver Wendell Holmes
People hunger more for love and appreciation than they do for bread.
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. ~ Mother Teresa~
"Carefully watch your THOUGHTS, for they become your WORDS.
Manage and watch your WORDS, for they will become your ACTIONS.
Consider and judge your ACTIONS, for they have become your HABITS.
Acknowledge and watch you HABITS, for they shall become your VALUES.
Understand and embrace your VALUES, for they become YOUR DESTINY." -Mahatma Gandhi-
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are we Not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people the permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." By Marianne Williamson

In memory of Tasha, who was much more than my dog. She was my my best friend, sent from heaven. Animals provide spiritual qualities such as unconditional love, joy, healing, forgiveness, patience, courage, and gratitude--virtues that are often lacking in our modern high-tech yet low-touch lives.
I'm an independent, passionate, spiritual and open minded woman who experiences life by jumping in with both feet, as in risk taker. This has proven to be beneficial at times, but also has presented some difficult challenges. Faith and good friends give me the strength to overcome life's rough spots. A great sense of humour, and a child-like attitude towards life keeps me feeling, and looking young.
I live in a beautiful part of the world where I can enjoy nature. I often spend time beside the ocean, clean rivers and lakes, walk in the rain forest or admire the night sky from my hot tub. Collecting rocks and driftwood, sketching, painting, writing, building, and transforming the ordinary to make it beautifully extraordinary makes me happy.
For over 30 years I've worked with preschoolers and handicapped people from 2-25 years old. Lately, I'm teaching English Sign Language through evening courses and implement a reading program for kindergarten and grade ones.
I feel we are spiritual beings in human bodies, connected to each other through a common bond. The spirit of the cosmos is in each of us. Astrology, psychology, spirituality, and the paranormal fascinate me.
I enjoy being with people and animals and strive to bring a ray of sunshine into their lives, the way they do in mine.
At 18 I rode a camel in Morrocco and carried a boa constrictor across my neck. By 19 I built a 16' sailboat, sewed the sails and launched it in the Niagara River, learning how to sail the hard way.
My Philosophy
Live and let live.
What Gives Me Hope
Knowing I'm exactly where I need to be at this moment for a reason. When life gets downright difficult, I realize, "This too shall pass".
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Average out wages so CEOs and other top dogs aren't receiving excessive wages while the "other" class struggles.
Then work at world changes needed to clean up the mess that put us in this mess.
What/who changed my life and why
The books, "Conversations with God" because they verified my open minded perspective on religion and humanity.
Bridges Over Madison County because it embraces real love, soul mates, being true to oneself and values that seem to be lacking in today's society.
