Who am I?

Gender
Female
Age

Location
about me
I recently left Portland, OR and am now living on five acres in rural SW Iowa. We live on a hill at about 1400 feet and have a 360 degree view. It is quite beautiful. I live here with my love, James and our dog, five cats and nine Guinea fowl. We are hoping to raise some chickens for their eggs (not to eat the chickens!) and maybe one day I'll have some other farm animals.
I have big plans for my organic veggie garden this year and preserving as much food as possible. The best Homeland Security is to grow your own food organically and preserve it!

To: Bush; "it's always going to be political, you shithead!" (blog entry) How many more mistakes are we going to let him make before we boot him out? This guy isn't just stupid, he IS dangerous.

A Few Thoughts

To All My Fellow Americans Who Voted for George W. Bush:

On this, the fourth anniversary of 9/11, I'm just curious, how does it feel?

How does it feel to know that the man you elected to lead us after we were attacked went ahead and put a guy in charge of FEMA whose main qualification was that he ran horse shows?

That's right. Horse shows.

I really want to know -- and I ask you this in all sincerity and with all due respect -- how do you feel about the utter contempt Mr. Bush has ... read more

How many more mistakes are we going to let him make before we boot him out? This guy isn't just stupid, he IS dangerous. ALL that money he has funneled into his private war in Iraq could have been used to prevent many of the catastrophes in LA, MS, and AL. Are people starting to realize that funding cuts to FEMA is why the levees in New Orleans actually failed?

Are people really going to believe Bush when he blurts, "no one could have predicted that the levees would break" ???? And why can... read more

My Testimonials

May 10, 2005
To everyone reading about Denise,

I want to let you know that Denise is a wonderful, smart, caring, funny, courageous, warm and energetic person. She exudes a fresh burst of sunshine in every way because of her smile that radiates and warms the entire room. When you talk to her, you shall see that her wisdom shows all throughout her polished and cool conversational skills and at the same time is elevated by her fiery passion for the things she is passionate about. More than these things, I admire Denise because she was many wonderful attribute s both personally and professionally. I want to point out that she is deeply passionate about what she believes in. She is not afraid to express her thoughts, opinions and feelings when others have waivered and conceded their thoughts in order to conform to the general rule. I think that people should be much more courageous and stay focused on what they believe in instead of listening to the dictates of others who strive to silence the voices of the minority. Denise is the woman (instead of the man) :-) She exemplifies female energy, love, intelligence, strength, courage, elegance, sophistication and humanity. I am extremely honored to be her friend and I am sure that you will feel as fortunate as I am to be hers.
