Places I've been
I've traveled quite a bit, but have not been everywhere I want to see. I travel year after year to see the world, and sometimes bring my granddaughter along to show her the wonders and instill a desire in her. Unfortunately, since I work for a living, I must travel in small spurts. I've been to several states in the U.S., and many, but not all, national parks. I've traveled through Alaska, Canada and Mexico a few times. Most relaxing place: Maui. I've traveled on the Aegean Sea and a small part of the Mediterranean Sea, and visited Greece, the Greek Isles and Turkey. I've spent time in varying areas of Mexico, the Caymans, Jamaica, and the western Caribbean. I could go on, but most recently, 2-1/2 weeks traveling throughout Norway. What a beautiful country full of incredible scenery beyond compare. Norwegians are warm, friendly and well educated. Once you strike up a conversation, you'll no doubt enjoy it. Very intelligent nation.

Favorite Movies
I must wax romantic on this and say Gone With the Wind. There are many good movies, and I watch them regularly, but usually in the comfort of my home.
Favorite TV Shows
I love PBS and the History Channel. Can never learn enough. Currently, I enjoy Dancing with the Stars - because I love to dance. I get addicted to American Idol every season. There are several others. Historically speaking, I still recall and love "I Love Lucy." Always makes me laugh.

Favorite Places
There are so many incredibly beautiful places on the face of this earth that I cannot narrow it down easily, but I really enjoy visiting the Pacific Northwest with its majestic beauty -- especially during summer. It's still home. Also love the beaches of Hawaii and the Caribbean.
Favorite Animals
My granddaughter's little pet dog, Kittenbo, who is a "pomapoo." She's been with us for about nine years now. I am fascinated by whales and elephants. Their brains are larger than ours, and I sometimes contemplate what must be going through their minds.

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
