Color color color! I love creating jewelry using antique glass or stones, I love the feel of the past. I love photography. I am a professional amatuer photographer. Don't ask me how the camera works, don't know , don't care. But I love capturing moments in time. Especially black in white. When you take away the color you see the soul.
Boutique & Gift shop owners on the west and east coast! I would love to get my designs in your shop!
Now on a personal note here...I would so love to meet Robin Roberts. She is my all time favorite newscaster/journalist. Her faith and love of her family always comes shining through.
I would love a sitdown talk with Oprah, amazing woman who has made great use of her time here on earth. I would love to tell her thank you.
President Carter, to tell him thank you for his spirit. I would be so honored to meet the Dalai Lama, all that wisdom and kindness...to spend even 5 minutes would just make life complete for me.
Another favorite of mine is Frida Kahlo, to take all that suffering and pain and turn it into such beautiful & intricate works of art...amazing.
I am open to all music . From Garth Brooks - The Dance to Aerosmith - Everything. Les Miserable to Dixie Chicks - Lullaby. Enya -Everything!

Ya know, I have to admit, I love TV. Not too many sitcoms but give me substance. Favorites: ER , 24, Big Love , Medium , Lost, Army Wives , Jericho and definitely The Closer , Heroes & Desparate Housewives . On the lighter side, I totally love Amazing Race , Apprentice and Survivor. I think it is because I love to see the workings of relationships in progress and I have learned alot about business from the Apprentice. Gotta love the Trump. Ok , I'm not afraid to admit it...I totally loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Xena...there's just something about women who kick ass.... And I miss Friends ! I always felt so much better after I watched Ross & Monica...sigh....
My all time favorite books - The Stand , Lucifers Hammer and Tuesdays with Morrie. Each have great lessons to be embraced.
True heros are those who stand up for the meek and helpless, have integrity, conviction, risk their name or life to do what is right even though they are afraid. Hero can be anyone from a 6yr old Mattie to a young woman named Imaculee .
My personal hero is my late father. Always a song in his heart, a jig in his step, and twinkle in his eyes. He loved his family, adored his grandchildren. He never had an enemy. He left us way too soon but he left a huge imprint on this earth.
Mitch
Most of us spend our whole lives trying to become what Mitch already was.
Thank you for being such a "brother" to Josh & Andrew. I will always miss you sweetie.
