Spotlight

We Remember~ A repost of a poem I wrote in memory of the lives lost on 9/11/01

recommended: 5 | comments: 10

A repost in honor of all those lost on 9/11/01 and in honor of their families who are still grieving. It's really a poem for ALL of us, for we all lost something very precious that day, . . . more

About Me

People say I'm:

hard-headed sometimes, funny, compassionate, and sensitive. I've been told I'm a good listener and I work at that daily. Sometimes, I think people just need to be heard, and in the hearing, I offer them validation for how they feel. I like that I can do that.
Describe Yourself:

I'm learning new things every day which is a surprise since, when I was younger, I thought that by the time someone was 50, they knew everything. It isn't so. And 50 doesn't seem so old anymore, either ;-)
I'm on a self-imposed course of improvement and knowledge seeking.

My favorite quote::

"It is strange to be here. The mystery never leaves you alone. Behind your image, below your words, above your thoughts, the silence of another world waits. A world lives within you. No one else can bring you news of this inner world." ~John O'Donohue, from Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

Thanks for adding me as a friend Rose! I thought we were friends too. I have been sort of on and off with Gather for the last many months, life has been keeping me really busy. But I am trying to work on being here on a regular basis again!

Thanks Rose! I lost my German Sheperd dog Jasmine 8 years ago. She was 18. 30 days later I lost my beloved cat, Blue. He was only 6 and the love of my life. So that's how I got that name. I use it alot.
