Well, hello there, stranger. Feel free to leave your mark upon one, or
all of my pages, and acquaint yourself with the deepest parts of myself
I've explored thus far. In doing so, I will leave marks of my own upon
you. It is my hope that journeying together, with different
experiences, ideals, and methodology, we will learn and grow together,
and that someday, instead of stranger, I can call you friend.
I am a woman in search of her~self. I spend my time learning of myself
and my surroundings. I take in all I can, and what I learn, I earn.
(Meaning, sometimes, learning lessons the hard way.) I find myself
growing and expanding as I delve deeper into life.....mine and the
universal, divine.
Too many moons ago, I lived with a man who held a true Love and
fascination for all things natural, original. All I can say today is I
deeply wish I had more than a mere memory to delve into. I still would
much prefer to learn directly from you, not a memory I cannot touch,
hear, feel or question. I will Love you all my days, and learn from
you always.....
A few of my favorite quotes:
"Where the hell's my God damned Bible?"
- Milton Karl Ochs
"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"If one life has breathed easier because you lived, then your life has
been a success."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"If three of us travel together, I shall find two teachers."
- Confucius
"Tears tranquilize tough times."
- Angel Ofdark
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us. We ask ourselves 'who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are
a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel
insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do... And
as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our
presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson
"Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth."
- Proverbs 27:2
"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."
- D. Viscott
"The supreme happiness of life is the conviction of being Loved for
yourself, or, more correctly, being Loved in spite of yourself."
- Victor Hugo
"Don't dig yourself out of a hole you're not in yet."
- Janet (Pssst.....that would be me.....shhh ; )
"I was as pure as the driven snow.....then I drifted."
- Mae West
('Borrowed' from the author page of TornAura.)
"God, in his infinite wisdom, did not make me very wise. So, when
my actions are stupid, they hardly take God by surprise."
- Langston Hughes
"We're getting closer.....everyday."
- Janet (Me, again)
An email I wrote my boss:
"Once upon a time there lived a lively, likeable blonde goddess who (temporarily) lost her finesse with cleverness. Or, if you would like, I could just say I’m too tired to think like a smart ass this morning. I myself like the original sentence best. You?"

OK, so it was more than a few, so sue me!
Feel free to drop me a line, and enjoy your time here.

I cannot remember if I responded to your question or not. I am just peachy, dear. Thank you for the inquiry. I presume it had to do with my elimination from the APTP3 contest. I expected it - no shock to my system.
I'm looking forward to reading the rest - one of my few (as yet unstated) beefs with the contest is the amount and length of extensions given/taken. I'm not sure, but I don't think a single round was ended or judged within the original time frames given. I see this last round will end up being somewhere around 3 weeks.
How are you? And how was your holiday?
