People people and more people!
I share many interests with many people but hugs are a bonus.Among my many hobbies IE; cooking, scubadiving,music and seeing new places, I seem to developed an attraction from Angels and anything to do with them, although I am not into any particular religion but specifically sprirituality and matters of the heart. I have through trial and error begun to create fiber optic and non fiber optic Angel figurenes of which I use to inspire hope in people that truly need..

Desiderata (After my own heart)
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble,
it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him or her to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Diane founder of DANNY'S DREAMThis is taken and quoted directly from "DANNY'S DREAM myspace page.My true passion in life is to get the word out for Developmentally Disabled Adults. I have had the honor of being blessed with a brother who had a brain tumor and is now in a Group Home for adults who are A Ward Of The State.
Many of these people are trapped in the prison of their bodies living a life with no one. He and my other friends have taught me so very much about real life. To see loving true souls who are basically the throw away society due to being middle aged has been amazing to me. They are so filled with love and just need a hug and an ear to listen with patience. These people are genuine.Starting with Christmas parties they asked for warm gloves, stamps and simple things we take for granted. One man wanted a pair of "footie pajamas" for three years. We found them. He spent Christmas with our family (hadn't seen his biological family in years) and due to an unfortunate situation passed away. These people have absolutely no control over their lives because they "didn't fit the mold". Where else can you find such gratitude for a trinket? Whatever you put in, you receive you receive tenfold in return! Truly wonderful REAL friends!
My vision is to someday have a camp to afford the opportunity for all to meet others in their shoes, form bonds and continue to be there for each other as support and affirmation. It is time to move this dream to reality phase.
******* Believe and achieve! ******
It's going to happen! I can no longer be luke warm on the subject. It's time to help them feel accepted. They didn't ask for this. Quite possibly the biggest hurdle is education. Any of these folks could have easily been our parent, child or ourselves. The elves are hard at work as we speak to prepare for the holiday season.
Our focus must be not just on Christmas or Birthdays, (which has been a great starting point) but the basic need on "just because" days as well. Wish us luck to bring a little sunshine into their beautiful eyes!
THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS TO LOOK DEEPLY ENOUGH TO SEE THEIR BEAUTY!
"When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves."- Viktor E. Frankl (1905-1997)

Micheal Angelo for creating beauty, and Leonardo Divinci for being outrageously different and individually defiant to the status-quo. All of the brilliant minds that dared to passsionately defy the nobility and religious orders of a world thought to be flat. Copernicus, Galilaeo
Children who suffer from terminal Illnesses such as leukemia and MS cancer. Thier families and loved ones that ask "Why ?"
May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.......Prayer of Mother Teresa.............
Ludvig Von.B Mozart, All through our written history at the risk of death and personal injury these people ultimately changed our lives for the better. Jesus of Nazerath, Martin luther king, Ann sullivan and her protoge' Helen Keller. Mother Theresa,

The LongGoodbyes who are not only my friends, but my hero's ! The trio Mex, Tracy and the elusive John symbolize hearts that truly beat in synchronistic love for our planet and Humanity. Among the many causes these three have taken up one is a school in a impoverished area in Tijauna Mexico appropriately named 'Jardin de ninos La esperanza' "The childrens garden of hope".
Recently the group has produced a song entitled "The little red book" which is a hauntingly beautiful and heartfelt plea to China and the world to free Tibet.
(China invaded Tibet in 1950 resulting in the flight and government in exile of the 14th Dalai Lama in 1959) The "LongGoodbyes" can be found in my top eight.
