Sally Hope

The only cure for unhappiness is happiness.

About Me

Go check out my website for all the juicy details sallyhope.com. I'm a crossword puzzle creator by day, rocker by night. I love my life and my family and smiling. I love daytime and laying out by the pool with my girls or playing croquet. I prefer waking up early (not TOO early of course) to sleeping in all day. And I LOVE to belly laugh. Art projects get me giddy, especially ones involving pieces of leather or feathers. I love living a healthy life style (both body and mind) and enjoy meeting others that feel the same way. Positivity and creativity are most important. I don't love bills or complainers."Unbeing dead isn't being alive."-e.e. cummingsI edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
