The art was cleared out & am replacing w/ things I have found & will be doing so for quite a while. Certain favorites will be be returning. =^_^=
I believe this strongly...
I got rid of a points thing~fanning. Just simplifying.
For now I've shut off HTML comments. If there is something you really want me to see please feel free to send it in a message.
Rain soothes my soul...
Being a mom is the most important & dearest part of my life, they are always my first priority.
I have 3 main refuges...art, music & nature.
I am a gifted singer & have a flare for design which helped me when I was an art framer.
I am honest to a fault & would rather be hurt than ever lied to.
I am more so a homebody. I prefer small groups or one on one for an engrossing conversation is something I never tire of.
I speak through my art & blogs a great deal.
I am here to meet & make friends only.
My definition of an adult~ Know who/what you are, make peace with it, & take responsibility for your actions.
I have no respect for those who lead a double life or omitting exactly what one does w/ others on line. If one does things they feel the need to hide it is Wrong, period.
*I don't add blank requests. Please send a message & give me an idea of why you wish to be friends.*
Those who are racist, sexist, homophobic or the like, pass this page by.
Whether I hiss or purr depends upon how I am treated...
“To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility, these are marks of maturity and graciousness.” -William Arthur Ward
Masks have always fascinated me...

If~Rudyard kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master; If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -- Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!

I am a film buff back into the silents to now. The right film at the right time can be healing, inspiring, & help one go on.
