I love this adventure of LIFE. I love it's cycle--the ebbing and flowing, albeit sometimes difficult. In this I truly believe it's important we have passion--for the things we believe in and in what we choose as our hobbies. I love gardening! Every aspect of it--the planting of the tiny seed, sprouting, and growing into a beautiful flower or vegetable to eat. I love to paint, to decorate my home, making it warm and inviting. I love celebrating birthdays and holidays. I am a birder and I love nature and the gifts it gives. Even though I was born in Colorado, and live here now, I have lived in the Washington D.C. area, and loved my life there.
