About Me
I am the youngest of 5..grew up in one place but most of my sibs moved around alot, since my dad was a career army officer. Mom was a banker. We travelled to visit relatives often (both parents were New Yorkers) and loved those times. I have always been artistic and creative..growing up near DC was great to expand on those horizons. My dad made sure that I was able to enjoy many artistic venues. Dad loved to sing and act, mom loved to write and was a fabulous homemaker and interested in many things. They both had a great, sharp sense of humor, which we all inherited :o)
The past 3 years have been utterly profound in so many ways...since 2005, I have watched my only child leave the 'nest', witnessed my oldest sister battle ovarian cancer, became the primary caregiver of both parents , moving them out from AZ to a rental home next door to mine here in the Austin area, had the honor of being by my sister's side as she made her transition from this earth on December 21, 2006; then my mother left this world the following April 13, 2007...I continued caring for my father, who was 90 when he passed away January 8, 2008...24 hours after my oldest brother died in Arizona. It has been quite an odyssey and I feel as though I am emerging from a cave, just beginning my life again. The grieving process is a long one...strange and beautiful with so many hills and valleys. I think I will be 'digesting' the deeper meaning of all that has happened for quite some time. My family has always been my source of friendship and comfort and now, forging ahead through the wilderness it becomes a challenge to keep my spirits up. But, I also know it is a new day and the best is yet to come. I miss them each and every day--I also lost another sister in December 1996, so now out of the 5 of us, there is only myself and my brother left.
On a brighter note, my first grandbaby is due July 26..such a blessing and so much joy to come. We are so grateful to have a celebration of life to look forward to.
UPDATE: My world has become a much brighter place since my darlin' girl had her OWN darlin' girl...my first grandsweetie, Felicity Christine, was born on August 1 at 4:27 a.m. We are so blessed with this joyous healing in our lives~

~~PLEASANT DREAMS~~ FEEL THE MAJIK - WITCHY'S WIKKED GRAPHIX
You are The Moon
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.
