About Me

Wow. Where to begin? Well, I am 51 years young. (Yes, I did say young.......) I've been married 31 years to a man who is, alternately, (depending on the day) both the love of my life and the bane of my existance!! I am the mother of three, and the grandmother of two beautiful girls, and they are all the light of my life! Every gray hair has been earned and accounted for, and artfully colored back to my natural brunette shade, with a few blonde highlights added for youth. I admire honesty and straight-forwardness in all things, and am finding that I have little tolerance for bigotry and ignorance. In fact, anyone bearing those traits shouldn't bother posting a comment! Sorry, just being straight-forward.... I value friendship and loyalty and despite my liberal stance, I am fiercely patriotic, and I am currently doing some independent study about the Pagan Religion, and also English Literature. I love cool climates (yeah,I know, I live in Phoenix..........go figure!) and fresh air and lots of light in the house, and gardening is a passion but living in the desert.....well....let's just say the plants I have INDOORS are doing wonderfully! We own our own business and I am currently working part-time (I really like to think of myself as being semi-retired...Ha!) But of course, my employment status could change at the drop of a hat, don't ya know!

My Interests

Gardening, reading, music in general (it's part of who I am, really, it's a passion) guitar (but I am oh-so-rusty), piano keyboard (still working on that), baseball (although it's more of a passion, too), spirituality and the supernatural.

I'd like to meet:

Other open-minded, liberal minded people who have a sense of humor and similar beliefs, and who would love to talk about anything and everything.

Do all the good you can
By all the means you can
In all the ways you can
In all the places you can
At all the times you can
To all the people you can
As long as ever you can....

Music:

Anything from the 70's through the 90's, with a special affinity for the 80's music. Some classical, and country. Favorite male vocalists are Elton John and Andrea Bocelli, favorite female vocalists, Shania Twain and Celine Dion.

Movies:

I like psychological dramas, love stories and comedic drama. Favorite movie is Pay it Forward, second favorite is an oldie....Summer of 42.

Television:

Plenty of new stuff to watch on TV this year. Just got interested in Heroes and I can't wait for American Idol in January!

Books:

Another good subject. I'm currently trying to absorb as much information as I can about the Pagan/Wiccan religion. I think I have 3 books going simultaneously on that subject right at the moment. I read Prometheus Rising last summer at the recommendation of a friend. Wow. All I can say is everyone should read that book. Definitely an eye opening experience for me. For words to live by and an excellent source for spiritual growth, believe it or not......Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, and it's all small stuff, by Richard Carlson, PH.D. Awesome!
When I'm not studying I like to read Historical Romance novels.

Heroes:

My mother, for raising my sister and I on so little, and for all that she gave up to ensure that we had what we needed, my oldest granddaughter, Aylana, for her spirit in the face of her disability (cerebral palsy), my friend, Steve, for his courage and independence despite the immense adversities in his life , and last but not least, my husband's nephew, Steven, who died at age 4 from a rare blood disorder. I learned alot about courage from him. True heroes, all of them.

My Blog

This one is for Bill, since he asked....

Spirituality is an individual thing......or it should be, for everyone. Everyone has their beliefs, but for most people, those beliefs have been super-imposed by one religious group or...
