I'd like to meet:

Would love to meet Rashi...he would be gentle and kind enough to explain the Torah to me, as he was when explaining it to his daughters...

I would have loved to sip some mate with Friducha!

Also, love to meet anyone who has something positive, uplifting and interesting to say...artists, tribal folks, writers,musicians,thinkers, philosophers, spiritual folks, mad scientists! Anyone with a witty sense of humor, please step into my myspace living room and let's talk, tango or titillate our senses (or all three!)

Heroes:

My nephews...19, 13,9 & 7...each at a different stage in life...each with their own unique view of life and the world around them!!
My friends Kee Kee,Cynthia, Daniela, Laura and Wendy, Elizabeth, Ruth, Jude (5/3!) Sandra, Sharon ...strong, fascinating women...my sis Lynda, of course, included
Rivkah (Teyves Daughter on my friends list) 1960-2007
A gem of a woman-- always there thru thick and thin...she had a hard life but never complained and was the most compassionate, funniest woman I knew.
She is and will be missed sorely...every day I want to pick up the phone to call her, and it is not possible...
Lesson Learned? LIFE IS *TOO SHORT* to not express your love, your appreciation, your smile...if there is someone in your life that you love, tell him or her...if there is someone you miss, let them know! If someone is in need of support or a hug...by all means do it...remember, once they are gone...it is too late! So, it's never too eaaaarly!!!

To be or Not to be....I choose to be

I have decided....to be positive.  To live to make the best of each day...to feel and experience as much as I can in an hour.  True...sometimes there are boring hours...but there are *never*...
