I was a flowerchild in San Francisco in the 60s and 70s (minus the drugs and free sex!) - still have drive to change the world for the better! (taught my kids to be the same!) I lost my first husband a week after his 47th birthday. (tell them you love them every day!) I have 4 amazing kids, 3 grown, one 15! and 3 grandkids! Just eligible to join the red hat society! I love the commercial where dennis hopper (thanx jack47!) says he doesn't see our generation playing shuffleboard or bingo...Amen to that!

I find that I am going through a time of rebirth... no longer reeling and reacting to what is happening around me, but more aware than ever of the choices I am making, and how they are creating the world around me.  I am learning how to think - replacing negative with positive, learning how to envision the world I want to live in, learning how to create the relationships that I want, and how to become the person I have always known I was inside... now she is fully living my life.. (No, I'm not schizo! just empowered!) I am loving life, every day.

the Wedding Date, the Notebook, any of the Harry Potters, Its a Wonderful Life, Secondhand Lions, On Golden Pond, anything with Diane Keaton

Heroes, I love Lucy, Pushing Daisies, Num3ers, House, Most Haunted, anything BBC, Dog Whisperer, and my daughter and I watch Gossip Girl together - it is a good chance to bond, and to talk about values and morals with her.

I go to the gym for two hours almost every day, I love white water rafting, swimming, horses, hiking, water sports... all kinds. I love snow sports (never tried snow boarding though.. ) would still love to try surfing, and plan to skydive in 2009. I also plan to learn how to drive a motorcycle (street) within the next few months with the thought of purchasing one.

I do two or more ACS Cancer Walks every year, I love the RED campaign, Social Vibe and everything on the CARE2 sites.

I like most music...really! I think "screamo" is hilarious! I go to concerts with my daughter all the time, play classical on the piano, rock on the guitar, and sing mostly country or musical theater.

The Secret, all Dickens, Wicked, Son of a Witch, many, many more...

"…there could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved. Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement." Jane Austen, Persuasion 3rd paragraph in Chapter 8 "The value of compassion cannot be over-emphasized. Anyone can criticize. It takes a true believer to be compassionate. No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands." Arthur H. Stainback "As the stars swept across the sky, I saw a golden path stretching before me, and I perceived a future in which all humans embraced the earth as a treasured gift." Sarah Andrews, An Eye for Gold

Thomas Jefferson, my kids, my great-grandparents... I knew them into my 30s. My grandmother, and my mom. Dave Fish
