If dreams were thunder, lightning was desire...this old house woulda burned down...a long time ago

About Me

Woman/Child in terminal transistion....lots of turbulence!! So far its either the good kind or self induced...Mother of 4 "GreatBig GreatBigs" Grandmother of 3 and we all live together in a big ass 107 year old Victorian Farmhouse that we're renovating into a B&B. Got lots to do yet. Caretake 160 acres of Gods Country in the Northwoods here for my family affectionately known as "Sweetwater". Garden, craft, sing and play the guitar, hunt, fish, cook for a tribe, entertain here whether I like it or not. I like it mostly... Devoted to my family and our goals but still like to party like I did back in the day...kinda. Probably gonna go to hell! Maybe not! One can always hope! I always try to be the better person, walk a mile in the others shoes when I don't understand motives and believe that even tho I may cross lines everyday...my prayers go to one who understands and probably thinks I'm pretty damn funny....on occasion! Keep on trying to be worthy of my blessings.....In the end that's what it's all about... I have two passions in my life that I can and do indulge in daily...music and writing poetry and they have become my therapy. I used to think the sharing of these passions made me vunerable...now not so much. I believe that by times they allow me to thrive and by sharing I somehow gain strength and self esteem...so thank you all for letting me share. Check out my blog if you get the chance, might be a smile or two in there for ya :) I love all my friends madly and I appreciate you stopping by so much...see ya soon. PeacenLove :) Always, Laurel

Buried at PhotoCasket.com

I'd like to meet:


Buried at PhotoCasket.comPretty packages all tied up with all the trimmings aren't always what you thought they'd be when you look inside. Sometimes that "last to be opened", brown paper box tied with twine holds the treasure you least expected but most desired... the one that more thought was given to how it would make YOU feel than how beautiful everyone else might think it is. If you get that....you might just be able to get me. That's what I'm looking for...the plain brown box... the someone who "Gets Me" Bob Dylan - My Back Pages

You are The Tower

Ambition, fighting, war, courage. Destruction, danger, fall, ruin.

The Tower represents war, destruction, but also spiritual renewal. Plans are disrupted. Your views and ideas will change as a result.

The Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. The Tower stands for "false concepts and institutions that we take for real." You have been shaken up; blinded by a shocking revelation. It sometimes takes that to see a truth that one refuses to see. Or to bring down beliefs that are so well constructed. What's most important to remember is that the tearing down of this structure, however painful, makes room for something new to be built.
