I must have stored up a whole heap of good karma to get this graceful angel for a sista. Brooklyn is one of the most kind, caring, passionate, radiant beings I have known and I am blessed to call her family.

When Brooke smiles, you get these goosebumps allllllll over you body and you start thinkin', "holy fuck, this girl just smiled at me....what do I do?? Do I smile back or just take it in? Oh no....her EYES!! They're penetrating my insides!! I....i think I like this....I need more! And damn she's hot!" and then you either faint or just look at her in some dumbfounded way. More, please.
Miss you!!! :)

Brooklyn is beautiful both inside out. Not only does she do some of the best makeup & costuming I've ever seen, she's also a genuinely cool and high-conscience person. The real deal!

do angels exist? if so, do they ever choose to fly close to the ground and walk among us? these questions may come up when you know brooklyn...
this is a woman who can mix it up on the dance floor or adventuring through life and come right back to hit the books with dedication... she parties and works hard And makes it look smooth... she has taste and won't ever get bored finding new ways to savor life or cultivate herself, day to day, at work or at play!
sensitive, artistic and intelligent, brooklyn will win you over immediately when you meet... she's absolutely beautiful and dresses with a creative stylishness to match... and beneath the lovely veneer? compassion, consciousness, and so sweet a disposition that her character is her greatest asset; as subtle as a perfect bloom, complex as fine art, and precious as a rare gem...
brooklyn; does she even need a testimonial? as if!
is she worth one? oh yes...
meet her friend and you will see!
and when you do come tell me
if you think it is you know
where she hides her bright halo?
Words that do not match deeds are not important.

DEAR FRIENDS: (Please re-post)

Peace Corps. Dibi, Cameroon. 2002.
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
- Clarence Darrow
When she finished building her masterpiece out of a single grain of sand, a band of gypsy dolphins came and carried her off into the sunset. Ascending the rainbow steps into the evening’s light show, she was approached by the Dragonfly Queen who asked her to dance for the moon with her. She was promptly given a set of wings to match her eyes and pirouetted her way into the center of the synchronized sky divers troupe. As they flowed through forms and invented new constellations, the gamelan choral choir crescendoed with a holy Om from the Merpeople. The geckos erupted in blissful banter, and the orchids and planets gave her a standing ovation. The shooting stars and passing comets even stopped to admire her grace. The stars all winked as she made her way back to her purple nebula and there she laid down for a nap and had a long vivid dream of walking down the beach drinking nectar from coconut shells….
