I am here for Friends

About Me

I have been through a lot in my life and am now recovering from what I thought was a terminal illness that is now under control.I am lucky to have a lot of friends and family that care about me and make me strong. I don't like conflict in my life. I am a "Virgo" who likes to mother people and help them succeed in life and help them to better theirselves. I get taken advantage a lot, but not from stupidity. I see clearly that when I am taken advantage of by those that do it, well, they have to learn in their own way, how to control their own destiny. I believe in the "Yin and Yang" philosophy of life that what comes around goes around. Even in my own life! I love "music" and if I had not had two ear surgeries some years ago, would not have been able to hear beautiful sounds! I love nature and being outdoors, hiking, driving thru the mountains and finding hidden treasures. I have been married 15 years and got married on April fool's day in 1993, in Athen's, Greece, after the 100 year blizzard here in NC. My husband's name is Polizonis. I call him Paul. His name in Greek means "life" and he has certainly given that to me. My "HIGH SCHOOL" days were fun. I ran away from home with my cousin and we went to Florida. That got us in trouble and changed directions in my life. We also were the misfits in school not having a place to belong. I created a name on our corner at R-S Central High, called "Junkie's Corner". In Rutherfordton,NC. Not that we were Junkie's, just misfits that didn't fit in with the crowd. Today we would be labled "Normal". It was fun and we made a lot of friends! My last two years of school were at Randleman,NC. I also went to school with the "King" of racing's son, "KYLE PETTY". Some of the kids had fast cars. I had a "59" FORD truck that was candy apple red with white rims. I also had a Petty blue 1971 Ford Pinto then I got a brand new 1979 Camaro Z-28. It was white with baby blue stripes 4 speed and fast. We used to sit with RICHARD PETTY at all the football games. I was also "MISS RANDLEMAN" 1976! Then I got married and quit college in 1979.I have two wonderful grown kids who are my life and I would do anything for them. My son James and Ashley. They make me so proud to be their mother...I also have my grandpuppy "Chico" who is my baby!...I was also in a girl's service organization for daughter's of Masons called "The International Order of Rainbow Girls". I was a Worthy Advisor in 1977 and also Grand Page at State Assembly in Raleigh,NC in 1977. I had a blast during those years.

Your power month: May What Does Your Birth Date Mean?Maya * Aztec Astrology Report ( DAY-SIGN: 12-Alligator (Maya: 12-Imix) YEAR: South-13 (Tikal System) 13-DAY PERIOD: 1-Dog (Maya: 1-Oc) NIGHT LORD: 6 VENUS PHASE: Evening StarIntroduction - The Astrology of TimeThe ancient Maya and Aztec astrologers studied the mysterious influence of the rhythms of the sky on earthly life. Everyone knows the Sun rises and sets every day -- this is the basic rhythm of life around which we set our clocks and calendars. What the ancient astrologers discovered was that other time cycles existed that were multiples of this basic day cycle. This fact was discovered about 100 years ago in Europe and these cycles (there are many of them) are now called biorhythms. The most important time cycles in ancient Mayan and Aztec astrology are those of the day, 9-days, 13-days, and 20-days. Additionally, years are counted also, in groups of 4 and 13. Each day is then part of several other cycles, so no two days are exactly the same. Your Maya/Aztec horoscope below shows exactly where in each of the cycles you were born. Each category below examines a specific cycle and a specific aspect of your personality. Keep in mind that our personalities are complex and contain many contradictions. All of us present a different "face" depending on who we meet. The delineations below will reflect this, but they will also give you a clear picture of who you really are. The true value of astrology lies in self-knowledge, the first step to wisdom. =========================================== Your Most Personal Traits -- The Day-Sign of Your Birth Here are your strongest and most obvious personality traits. The delineation below describes who you are and how you appear to others, at least on the surface. In Aztec astrology this part of is your horoscope is your Tonalli, or Day-Sign, the form bestowed upon you by the Sun.=========================================== Mayan Astrology traits:IK - eek’- Wind - North/White - Instinct/Physical - heart chakra; Air. Commutative, mental, agile, clever and multifaceted. Idealistic and romantic. Fashion conscious or artistic.IK = Ik. Wind. Breath. Subtleness. Art. Thinkers.============================================== My Mayan glyph-CIMI - k’ee mee - Death - North/White - Reason/Mental; throat chakra; Air. Security conscious, materialistic, sacrificing, helpful. Concern for the community and politics. ============================================== 8 = Complete energies of the material world. Top of the pyramid. Male authority.========================================== Alligator: You are a busy person, often constantly working to maintain the emotional integrity of your world. You relate to the world around you primarily through your feelings, not so much through intellect. Because of this, you can be quite reactive to any changes taking place around you and frequently rush in to keep the "dam from breaking," so-to-speak.=============================================You r instincts are unusually strong. Besides a powerful maternal instinct, you may also be genuinely psychic. You tend to be attracted to the psychic sciences or future sciences such as astrology, tarot, and metaphysics. When you follow your hunches, you are nearly always successful in whatever you attempt.==============================================Alliga tor types are also extremely sensitive and touchy. You may have a terrible time taking criticism and tend to be defensive. On the other hand, you can be among the most critical and fussy persons known. In your dealings with others, you often put on a tough exterior which protects you from the "dangerous" environment. Like the alligator or crocodile, you can be difficult to live with because of your hard, rough and even prickly, surface. Privacy is necessary for you to recuperate from the stress of maintaining this defensive posture. You need a personal sanctuary of some kind, preferably near the sea or water.===============================================Those who have close relationships with you will notice your tendency to dominate others in a parental way. You have an unusually strong parenting instinct. If you don't have any children you will seek outlets by establishing nurturing relationships with people, pets, and even plants. The maternal instincts of female Alligator types can be awesome.=========================================It is possible that you feel rejected or criticized by your parents. The feeling, real or imagined, that your parents expect too much of you, or worse, don't want you, can be a motivation to create your own personal "families." These may be simply small, but tight-knit group of friends that you put together, or you may actually join in with an existing family. The more enterprising of you Alligator types often create business or professional "families" setting a foundation for later, and larger, enterprises.================================================ =
