7 THINGS ABOUT ME!
1-I am very grateful that I was born…”to Be…for this Yahweh created all.” Wisdom 1:14 —this about the only Biblical numerical reference I know! When in the convent, I would reference the Bible with: “Somewhere in the Bible, it says…” LOL
2-I try to be remain open to love, the gift of friendship –I have been blessed with GOOD FRIENDS!
3-I am so grateful for every day of my life – even the days I struggle – those days help me to grow and to be empathetic towards others and I do realize that most people are fighting some kind of battle…either internally or externally each day.
4-I am so grateful for Lara, Annie and Sara–my three lovely daughters–and my precious grandchildren–Ayden and Nadia. I am grateful for the many friends that have enriched my life!
5-I try to live compassion.
6-I love to laugh! I love to make other people laugh and smile…and realize I should put more joy in my writing, which tends to be quite serious.
7-I loved to teach [36 years]…I miss it greatly…my students enriched my life so much…and now I am transitioning into being a writer…a painter on canvas…and a better lover of myself and humankind in our ocean of water-life~!
My wish for all of my friends and fellow bloggers on WordPress, continued success in your writing…and our mutual desire to be with one another through our words…to write words to share who we are…to bring us all closer to truth, love and to each other in our world of water bubbles!

Well, Shane, our thoughts are who we are that day…so it seems…and we are being true to who we are, be it joyous or sad…as I explained myself away one day to someone–I write the sad things as well, to let other people in on the suffering of the world and walk in the shoes of those who suffer—and that I “get” suffering—we each have it and respond in different way…it seems we either grow or die in our suffering–we come to that choice—-and, for me, it helps me to release it through writings–and then I get a better perspective on it all–hopefully, moving on to joy! You are such a very good writer! You will go far, Shane! You are courageous and brave and you think your ideas through so well!
