I've written a poetry book and had it published through Authorhouse in June, 2012. It's called Faith, Truth, and the Pursuit of Life: Prose and Poetry of Hope and Love. |

Our ninety pound Leonberger dragged my husband across the yard, then came back to lick his face because he's sprawled out in the grass; didn't know if I should laugh or help...I laughed;) and helped, too.

Celebrating 25 years of marriage with the man I call my husband; it hasn't been bliss, but it certainly has been an adventure!

DIS-illusioned: Bliss is simply being oblivious to the reality around you--like a baby born in prison.
Congrats and count your blessings. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

No one can measure the worth of a human being...Jesus says people are priceless and showed it with His Blood; so, I choose every day to live the promise He tells--the promise of life filled with love and peace!

DIS-illusioned: "Jesus says people are priceless"
Exactly! So, why did my ex flip out when I told her she was worthless? :-/

|
|
| mrskristinball: Do price and worth mean the same thing? Because I sometimes pay way too high a price for something that's not worth it...;)

Learning and working to become an effective online tutor for essay writing is my most recent and most challenging career pursuit! And I love it:-) There is nothing more rewarding than teaching the writing process, and sharing a little bit, the love a writer has for the written word.

â??The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, brain surgery."
- Robert Cormier
I love this quote for today, because it seems like I'm constantly revising my writing...As a writer, I don't have to have it perfect the first time I write it down, there's always room for improvement!

Love = Sacrifice + Faith
Today, I choose to believe in the ones I love, and give my life for them. So, that means I have to go on facebook, ugh!

I'd like to say my mood is fairly balanced on a daily basis; fortunately, my mood swings can be so dramatic in such short periods of time that each day is a mysterious adventure to be lived out loud:-)
