: About Me

Mother, Daughter, Sister, Wife, Water Bearer, Peacemaker, Negotiator, a Spirtual Being. Aspiring a life of calm in the face of acts of war; and acts of God. Taking slow deliberate walks of responsibility one day at a time. Prefer to give than to receive. Believe our deaths to be the last great adventure, of a long and personal journey. Picture our world full of love, faith, hope, charity - as well as - strength, resolve, determination and purpose. Climbing over apathy, praying for mercy and compassion, searching for eternal peace and facing humanity free of masks. Looking up often and seeing signs which assist to remove the enemy - EGO.
Life, then, is an enigma which is beyond our human capablilities to solve.
Serving, then, is the only way to bear the cross of our existence.
Until we return from which we came.
