From the very moment I met this beautiful woman, I felt loved and accepted. She has one of the most welcoming, positive, spirits I've ever had the pleasure to encounter. Thanks for always having a smile for me no matter hard your day has been, and for always hugging me like you mean it. You da bomb Lady B.

Spark-a-licious aint just any Fire Twirling Hair Goddess, why just the fact that her hair is not itself fashioned in the traditionally acknowledged hair style of the gods-the mullet; nor is it said to be like lapis lazuli..although modern day Poobahs, and thier ilk, claim that her pink streaks are the new lapis lazuli-(the traditional hair color of the gods)...making ummmmm pink the new blue..for today at least...prolly tomorrow too but you will have to check back with her on that after that-being she is the expert on all things like that...but this is my testimony for her being the first person I have met associated with tribes in real time, and I have lived long enough to at least post this..either that or she slipped me a roofie and now I am doing her bidding? I'll have to get back to you on that one....but she did a great job on my hair...feeling very rockstar...

Spark-a-licous is a Super Groovy Love Mother Goddess incarnate. She's been making me beautiful (hard task, that) for several years now and I've tracked her down a couple of times when I lost contact. She always tries to be positive and upbeat, she's never said an unkind word about anyone in my presence. She strives toward spiritual and intellectual growth. She keeps an open mind, accepts people with all our flaws and personality quirks and doesn't rush to judgement. She is one of the few people I've met who actually practices what she preaches.

I am in awe of this lady! She has amazing style, and the strut to go with it. She oozes self confidence, warmth, love and strength and I am lucky to know her!

there's no reason for you to cry
WE'LL always be around

be true to whats been true to you
you know i'll never let you down

there's no reason for you to cry
WE'LL always be around

forget your past
your fears won't last
now the door is open wide

i'll never let you down
i'll always be around
the door is open wide

The first time I met Betsey, I got the feeling ...
"This isn't the first time I've met Betsey!"
We were somehow intrinsically, cosmically, and karmically
connected through some past life or current kizmet.
'We are connected' digweed told us and I belive him ;-)
and lucky for me too because Betsey
exudes beauty, grace under fire, confidence, enthusiasm for life,
happiness, kindness, and generosity of spirit!
pass it around, and let everybody soak it in sistah!
the three qualities that I'm gonna say define her the most are
Love, Compassion, and Strength ... these are the things I want SO
badly for my own 3 defining traits,
so I use Betsey as my humble guide in the crazy travels
through this world we call life. she has love for herself
and all those around her, even total strangers,
and compassion for all living things.
her strength transcends many definitions, physical strength ;
she's as strong as an ox and could kick your ass in a fist fight!,
emotional, psychological, spiritual strength to know the difference
between wrong and right AND act on the bullshit that ain't right!
her integrity, character, & moral fiber let you know she is
on the same side as the Justice League of America.
she taught me to Poi,
she taught me to vaporize,
she skewled a geek how to chat online,
and then she shows me unconditional love!!!!!
I hope everyone gets to know what that feels like!
I mean, really, how could I NOT become madly obsessed and fall
head over heels in love with her ???????
She let me hold her hand the other day,
and now I cain't figure out ifn' I'm a good monkey ors a bad robot ?
hmmm....... not only that, I can't let go of her hand !
I wanna ride off into the Brazilian Room Sunset w/ her,
she's SOOOOOOOOOO special :-)
there isn't anything i wouldn't do fer betsey .......

i felt pretty intimidated and overwhelmed when i started on my new path in life. Thankfully, there was this lady working in the information booth. She had a heart of gold and a sense of friendship and community that was yearned for, but at that the same time unfamiliar. Thankfully, i have her number in case i get lost.

Sparky's not only an Earth Mother, a Hair Goddess and a Fire Spirit, she embodies Love itself.

betsey is a dreamer, a creator, a mother, an artist and a fantastic friend.

i am lucky to have her in my life.

when she was a little girl...
she wanted to conquer her fears...
Now she is a grown woman, who speaks her mind...
conquering her fears, and willing to learn with each new goal she sets...
