My Interests



Meet'cha!

Covering less than 2 percent of the Earth's total surface area, the world's rainforests are home to 50 percent of the Earth's plants and animals.
Temperate rainforests used to exist on almost every continent in the world, but today only 50 percent – 75 million acres – of these forests remain worldwide.
A typical four square mile patch of rainforest contains as many as 1,500 flowering plants, 750 species of trees, 400 species of birds and 150 species of butterflies.

SEVEN SISTERS - WHITE CLIFFS SOUTHERN ENGLAND

I LOVE to study. I LOVE to read. Try to learn a new word every day. Interested in everything that my girls & granddaughters do. Interested in learning how to hold my tongue; not revealing what crosses my mind every time I have a thought. TO never allow someone to steal so much from me again. That betrayal ... I'm interested in walking instead of talking wisdom I read every day ... I'm interested in the happiness and health of myself, my family, my friends. I'm interested in people I love becoming aware of truths' around us. Spiritual truths and realities; deception w/in government, and politics in general. It's been ingrained in us to accept and tolerate absolute evil that will be severely punished by our Creator. I'm interested in not wasting one second of the time I have left in THIS earth age. The evil & deceptions that assault us from every direction can't be allowed to dissuade us from seeking the truth. From realizing the awesome beauty in every blade of grass, flower and plant, chirping of a bird, touch of wind upon a cheek, drop of rain, mighty breaching of a whale, stampede of an elephant, strike of lightening, crash of a wave, smell of lilac and honeysuckle, giggle of a child, taste of chocolate, embrace of a friend or lover, knowledge that WE ARE ONE AND THAT GOODNESS AND LIGHT WILL PREVAIL.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, Mary, the Mother & Joseph earthly father of Jesus. Mary Magdalene, Abraham. Moses. Sarah & Ester. King Tutankhumun, Akhenatan, Ramses. Sitting Bull. Geronimo. Chief Joseph. Teddy Roosevelt. Ghangis Khan. Mary Queen of Scots. King Henry VIII, & his wives. Einstein. Clara Barton. Christopher Columbus. Itzcoatl. Moctezuma. Cuzco. Marco Polo. Buddha. Leonardo DeVinci. Monet. Martin Luther. Benjamin Franklin. Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Edison. Mozart. Laura Ingalls Wilder. R. R. Tolkein. Michael Crichton. Queen Ahmose-Nefertari. John Sanford. The first people who climbed over a mountain top and into theretofore unseen territory. All the people who shaped our world. Including anyone who actually reads all the way through and reads this, right!!?? We are all (a ripple in the pond) and touch one another's lives. Each person significant ... Look into the night's skies; realize we are but a speck.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.
Martin Luther King, Jr.


It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake
One forgives to the degree that one loves.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The most imaginative people are the most credulous,
for them everything is possible.

Shown that our past does not have to steal all our present joy. My three granddaughthers (who are 7, 2 and almost 2), celebrate life every minute of each day. Whether it's listening to a cricket or bee, bending down to view a flower, chasing a puppy, eating their favorite fruit or ice cream ... Beautiful. Simplicity. Love to listen to them explain life's greatest mysteries w/a child's innocence & simplicity. I adore my daughters & granddaughters.
