My Interests

Truth, love,expression,communication, INTEGRITY, being yourself and being loved for just that........... The sun, the moon, the stars, the ocean. Big hugs, little kisses, laughter, holding hands, the smell of your skin. The wind in my hair, the sun on my face, the sparkle only found in the eyes of someone you love- who loves you back. Private jokes, private moments, public displays of affection............... The fight, the making up, the holding on, the letting go.....

Heroes:

Georgia O' KeeffeMy Grandma B, Florence Ida Bowlin. (12/27/06 - 2/10/04)..............the smartest (with hardly a 6th grade education) woman I have ever known. She outlived her husband ( and NEVER re-married nor as to my knowledge- loved again....... now THAT was a conversation I will NEVER forget- LOL) and also survived 5 of her 7 children. My Mom being one of the survivors and her caretaker for years..............I learned alot from her. What once had seemed a burden tending to her became a blessing in my life I will always cherish.
