I am currently Chairing a fundraiser for the Bret Harte Middle School Dance Team to raise $$ for their National Competition...
- Why I'm Here:
- Personal, To Make Friends, To Learn, To Change the World
- My Passion:
- Having fun! I like to play sports with the kids. I LOVE to dance, although I never took a class as my daughter does, but I can freestyle all day long! I love fine dinning - especially if I am not the chef, although I do like to cook! I just don't like to clean up the mess afterwards! I love to get together with my friends to catch up. I love to spend holidays with my family. I enjoy meeting new people. I love my pet Skittles. I love nature, and that is why I love to hike. Did I mention I love dancing? haha I could go on forever, you know... :-)

- That the US gets rid of Democrat and Republic partisans. I hope that you can pay your taxes and individuals can select what we want the money to go to, so you feel good about paying taxes (like shopping)!
I hope that the world learns to understand each other, and care about each other, and respect the differences.
I hope that the older generations teach their kids it is okay to make their own choices, even if it is different than what the parents think.
- My Dreams:
- They are in my mind. I prefer to call them goals, because dreams are harder to come true!
- What Else?:
- I love to travel and meet new people and see new places. Last year I went on a Caribbean cruise and it was amazing! I love tropical places... I enjoyed the jungles of Kauai this last summer and didn't want to leave... I hadn't traveled prior to that, in a long time, because the kids were too young, but now that they are getting older, I am getting more freedom to play again. LOOK OUT!

The Golden Compass
How do you feel about a children's author pushing atheism? Should it be disclosed?
Commentary:
So, I heard the author of The Golden Compass is an atheist and in the end of the book series,
the kids kill God.
I checked it out and it is true. I think I will keep my kids away from this one... This is good reading prior
to seeing the movie, if you still decide to see it:

What does Mistle Toe mean to you? The complexity and variability of Mistle Toe, eerily remind me of the intricacy and diversity of human nature.
How can one person face hardship, loss, and maybe even abuse, and still be the strongest amongst us, while others who “appear” (key word) almost pampered, think life is diff… Continue

Lost Poem
I see him laughing, like a passage through time.
I don’t want to lose each memory, so dear.
But they are fading and not as clear.
I find myself staring at the empty chair
With a pensive, blank, yet lonely stare.
I need a sign of his love for me.
It meant so much, the trunk of our family tree.
The stab of pain in my heart grows weaker.
As the days, weeks, months drift by and the pain becomes meeker.
