About me:
I am enjoying the third stage of life--living. It's time to travel, time to share joys with others. I take responsibility for my own life; I don't blame others. I create value in my own life and the lives of those around me through the practice of Buddhism. My first book came out in September, 2007. I am working on the next one now.

Find out where I will be or put in a request for a booksigning, reading or other event at BookTour or AuthorsDen.

See what I am reading (once I add something) and what I have reviewed by others on my 'read' shelf:

I used to love Dali. Dali uses many recurring symbolic elements in his works.

Thank you for the add to your friends. I am new to SGI, but am so inspired by everything I read, study, and learn. I look forward to knowing you. Check out my blogs sometime if you have time. I am sure that most of them will be familiar to you, but they are very encouraging to me. Take care and have a very peaceful weekend. With love from the South Pacific... Tiffany

If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty
of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart,
there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end, how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes. ~Michelangelo

Every beauty which is seen here by persons of
perception resembles
more than anything else that celestial source from
which we all are come. ~Michelangelo

Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven. ~Michelangelo

Faith in oneself is the best and safest course. ~Michelangelo

From such a gentle thing, from such a fountain of all delight, my every pain is born. ~Michelangelo
