: About Me

I don't believe there is an art form I wouldn't try. I'm always looking for a challenge, a new and exciting way to express myself. I find it fulfilling to create and to help those around me be creative and imaginative. I think talent is relative because there is always a redeeming factor in everything.

Things that are of the utt most importance in my life: God, family, friends, Independence, love, creativity, honesty. loyalty and health. Some of these things I have an abundance of, some of them I have only a little of but I am always striving for a equal balance of them all.

I am a woman, old enough to have put the worries of child bearing behind me, old enough to enjoy the sound of children bickering because I know they will leave with their parents, old enough to appreciate a fine glass of wine and old enough to remember songs you could hum and sing to on the radio.

I have always enjoyed putting pen to paper either for purpose of story, poem or words of friendship to a close or long lost friend. Many times I push aside the keyboard and pull out the relic pen or even a pensile least I forget how to form my letters.

Relationships & Family > Couple Communication The power of non-verbal communication in relationships

Non-verbal communication can be as powerful a building agent as the layers after layers of fossils and sediment it takes to raise a mountain or it can be as powerful an eroding agent as a single drip of water that, over the course of years, will carve it's way through stone.
