About Me

Thank you to all of my friends, and for all the joy that you've brought into my life.
*I'm really crazy about organic skin care.
*I let dogs kiss me on the face.
*I dance in circles and, usually, I do not fall down.
*I sparkle.
*I make really great chili. My lasagna is pretty good, too.
*I like pina coladas...and getting caught in the rain. I'm into yoga and I have 1/2 a brain (well, i hope that much is left anyway)...

this, pretty much, explains most of me...
*"She had lost the art of conversation but not, unfortunately, the power of speech." -- George Bernard Shaw
this explains the rest...
MARK TWAIN once wrote: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
