about me
I am a fun loving person who loves to write and invent. My first concern whenever I make a decision in life is how that will affect my three daughters. As long as my children are not going to be hurt, I am willing to experience most things because life is too damn short for regrets. I have learned a great deal in the last few years and I plan on using the knowledge and experience I have gained to live life to the fullest and spread the happiness around if I can.

What's the illusion with diversity and inclusion?

It's the heart within, not the color of skin.

It's O.K. to stand up for what you believe,

In the end it's a big relief.

Respect differences and in the end,

More people will want to be your friend.

Look inside someone's heart,

It will give you a fresh start.

Just imagine of people were the same,

It would be pretty lame.

Listen to me and you will see,

How different people can really be.

Look for someone,

Lessons are strange and unique in that we can glean wisdom from without realizing sometimes, until years later. At what point do we look back and say “I learned a valuable lesson there”? We can be in a negative situation that would seem to have no potential for gaining wisdom at all. In that event or series of events, however, some of the most significant lessons can in fact be learned.

There is nothing to be gained by giving graphic details on the countless torture... read more

It is time said I, with a twinkle and a smile,
to stop chasing rabbits and walk for a while.

My thirst is not quenched, though it’s been quite nice;
It’s time to stop drinking with madmen and mice.

Good friend Tweedle Dee, good friend Tweedle Dum,
so sorry my friends, but I can no longer come.

I have no real flair for cards (so instead)
I’ll be on my way, having lost my head.

So back up the dark black hole I climb,
With hopes I reach cruel reality in time.

And if I should ... read more

Sweet, venomous valentine promises spoken from red lying lips, parted by a forked tongue, bringing red roses, red tulips, two lips pressed together in a fine red line, too much red wine in front of a roaring fireplace; red hot poker, Snap Dragon bud, a butterfly’s sweet red smile, purity given to the scarlet letter; no crimson tide floats a red dawn, red letter day, bright red pulsing pain, strained (fear stained) red face, blood bathed cries of new life need a red baby buggy bumper, Raggedy ... read more

Old faces filled with tired weary lines looked back at me, with eyes that seemed to plead for something other than waiting for the Reapers kiss. Looking at these ancient wheelchair-bound relics in their current condition, you would never have guessed that many of them were once war heroes. Some ran head-on into battle welcoming Valhalla's gates, but most were just scared kids without a choice. Now they simply want to live their last days receiving the respect so courageously earned long ago. ... read more

What a year it has been!!! Dancing in the kitchen, arguing over silliness, defending each other tooth and nail, walking on egg shells only to run over broken glass, I send no apologizes, and ask none in return, We dared to love, what we recieved was a strange and totally unique path to follow, but we are still here...

soul drifts
on the cold winter run off
dancing across the chill,
flitting to heights yet to be known.
shows the liquid depths
only when asked for the tour
A journey well spent.
~thanx for the tour Troy~
