Pretty In Pink... Perfect In Paisley!

Amazing... Yes this is how I view turning 52. Who would have thought the girl from Grand and Bates would still have her head in the clouds and  still be   searching for fame and fortune? I have yet to give up... on anything ! From where I am standing (ok sitting right now), I feel like I am about to embark on the best journey! I feel a door to "something" is finally cracking open  and I am seeing a light. Who cares how bright that light is...all I care about is I see one! Wow 52!!! I think there is a lot to say for that! I will say this year started out quite the challenge. In January I was diagnosed with a chronic Leukemia (which is in a manageable stage), I have had severe female problems and despite it all my anxiety seems to be in check! I am ok with where I am! Physically, I am feeling better!  My art is moving!!!! My writings are being noticed and finally I am very ok with the person I have evolved into. Do you know what it is like to be able to be...

When I was a little girl, the front hallway steps were where I usually retreated to. When I wanted to escape from the madness of my home because of too many people and too much noise, I would quietly walk out the door and plop my little self on the top step.

On those tops steps I could hear my own thoughts as well as many a conversation from others... When your orphaned (that's what I called it, at least at the time that's what it seemed like) and you are being shuffled between family members, I just was trying to find a place to belong. The front hallway steps were where I thought I belonged..out of the way. At 6, I craved the quiet. I didn't want to be fussed over. I didn't want to be found and usually for the most part nobody noticed anyway... when you ...

No big writings today...just a few simple thoughts! We live in a time where value has lost it's meaning. Respect has gone out the window and Freedom is based upon the space you live within... I believe everyone has a right to speak their mind, a right to put their words into actions, as long as NO harm comes to anyone and everybody gets a free chance to try and survive in this country! American enterprise... Living the American dream. Boundaries still hold strong...to be an American you must pledge allegiance! That does not necessarily mean you have to give up your religion, change your heritage...adapt your color. It does mean we stand together. We defend each other and we serve each other under the flag that represents what this country started as... A place for the free and the home of our brave!
