Would you sell the colors of your sunset and the fragrance Of your flowers, and the pionate wonder of your forest For a creed that will not let you dance? --Helene Johnson I am a 41 year old divorced mother of 3 (21, 13, 12). My friends would describe me as loyal, funny, and extremely positive...there is always a silver lining! I enjoy a variety of activities and am always open to trying new things. I have owned my own business in the past which was a great experience. I went to Italy for 2 months to study Italian and ended up staying a year. A truly amazing experience (one you can't get out of a textbook!) I love languages and tend to pick them up quickly. Other cultures fascinate me. I am definitely not into playing games and believe that integrity is key. I appreciate up front honesty, if we don't click, just say so. I wish you luck! "There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." —Martha Graham, Born: May 11, 1894
