Hmmm... What are my interests??? Well I love Nature and most things that have to do with Nature. Yes that means I love the mountains and going camping, Altho I must say that I'm not getting any younger therefore roughing it isn't as fun as it used to be. I love writing poetry and I sometimes dabble in art. Someday I'd love to attempt writing and illustrating childrens books. Or perhaps start my own line of greeting cards... who knows? I seriously hate shopping. If I can avoid it at all I do. There's nothing worse for me than spending my day in a supermarket or shopping center. It may have alot to do with hating to be in huge crowds or something I don't know. It's not bad if I know exactly what I need and where to find it so I can get in and out quickly but other than that... yuk lol ~~~~~~ here is a link to some of my poetry http://allpoetry.com/poets/LadyBugzZ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also I am a child advocate. It breaks my heart to see children hurt or suffering check out these links =======>
Music
I love the old stuff I grew up on... you know... music from the 70's and 80's. Stuff like The Eagles, Best of Bread, Chicago, Aerosmith, The Carpenters, Helen Ready, Anne Murray, Barry Manilow, John Denver, Don Williams, The BeeGees, Lobo, The Jackson Five, Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, Bellamy Brothers, Robert John, Jennifer Warnes, Barbara Mandrell, Kenny Rogers,Air Supply, Earth Wind & Fire, Dan Fogelberg, Hall & Oates, Foreigner,Cher, Blondie, yeah the list goes on and on.
Movies
I love romantic comedies, so you could say I'm a typical woman since I'm into chick flicks. :) I also get into the magical ones like Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings which is strange since I usually don't really care for dark movies. Oh and I really don't like horror movies because they give me nightmares lol.
Television
I Don't watch much tv but when I do I like shows like, House, Treasure Hunters, Extreme Home Makeover, Medium, Gillmore Girls, Amazing Race, Lost, American Idol, Rescue 911, Whose Line is it Anyways, Blue Collar Comedy, Food network, Becker, Cheers, Mash, British Comedies, Early Edition, Touched By an Angel, Little House on the Prarie, and CSI. LOL yeah I know I'm weird.
Books
I love documentaries and romances. Also Biographies and murder mysteries. (the kind that have been based on murders that have actually happend like "At Mothers Request") And since I've worked so much with kids over the years I also like books like "The Chrystal Promise" or "A Child Called It"
Heroes
would have to be Jesus Christ, and my parents. They taught me the true meaning of sacrifice and unconditional love.

POEM OF LIGHT
Beyond your eyes exists a world That all can learn to see Within this world exists for us Infinite possibility
Many are lost in darkness And cannot find their way Because they choose to believe the lies They hear from day to day
The future's yours the future's yours, If you open your mind Discover what you do not know And greater truth you'll find
You and me and everyone are all beings of light We can all live in harmony, If we increase our sight, Open your heart open your mind, And see your path anew The greatest joy in life will come From Loving Being You!
Love all of life's Creations Take time and you will grow To know the truth and see the light and all you wish to know Your energy creates life and knowledge is for sure Come know yourself, The universe, And So Much, So Much More...
GLAD TO BE YOUR FRIEND, HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL AND AMAZING DAY. STRIVE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEBODY'S LIFE TODAY, YOU'LL FEEL AMAZING AND REAP GREAT BLESSINGS!
All too often we stretch ourselves too thin. Some of us, like me, tend to have way too many things going on in our lives at any one time. If we try to concentrate our efforts on too many different things at once the result could be disastrous.
Confucius once said “If you chase two rabbits, both will escape”.
I hope that you have a great weekend. I also hope that in the coming week that you do not end up “chasing too many rabbits”.
Sometimes it seems as if we have tucked our goals so far into the back of our minds that they appear to us as lights in the distance. The doorway to achieving our goals is still wide open, so we need to run through it and bring those goals closer to the front of our minds, and closer to becoming a reality.
I hope that you a have a great weekend and a great week to come.
As we age we often forget that life is supposed to be fun. When we are young, fun is what we are about. This is somehow lost in the time of our lives.
If we find something that connects us with this lost youthful exuberance, we should keep doing it even if someone tells us otherwise. It is this connection with our youth that I believe will get us though some of the toughest times of our lives.
I hope that you have a great weekend, and a great week to come.
An old saying says “You can not dig yourself out of a hole”. You may not be able to dig yourself out of a hole, but given the right motivation you can propel yourself out like a rocket and reach new heights never before thought possible.
I hope that you have a great weekend and a great week to come.
Sometimes we try to make a change but we don't really feel like we are doing anything different. We sometimes feel as though what we are doing really doesn't even matter to anyone.
I can tell you something! What you are doing matters!! You matter!! I know that sometimes change is hard, but if you stay on the right path, it will take you to some really wonderful places.
We are all searching for a peace and tranquility in our lives. Peace means different things to different people. It could mean lying in the sun by the pool, or hiking though the woods, or it could mean finding that beautiful place and being there when no one else is around.
The peace and tranquility that we seek is not really found in any special place at any special time. It is just a state of mind that we put ourselves in when we find such place and such times.
That said, don’t you think that we could also find peace and tranquility in other places and other times? I think that it is possible, and it just takes a little brain power on our part, but it can be done.
I hope that you have a great weekend, and a very peaceful, tranquil week.
Sometimes in life it seems as though we are caught in an unending loop. We try to make positive changes in our lives, but we end up right back where we started.
I am speaking from personal experience here. I can tell you that positive change is possible, and that you can break out of those seemingly unending loops. Just keep trying, and eventually when the timing is right, you will make that change that you desire.
I hope that you have a great weekend, and a great loop-free week.
I was reading something recently and it reminded me of something that happened to me in my childhood. When I was growing up I had a big maple tree in my back yard. That tree was where I had a swing, and it was also my favorite tree to climb in.
Now one of the first times that I climbed in this tree I made the mistake of climbing really high in the tree, hanging from one of the limbs, and then looking down. BIG MISTAKE!! I was frozen with fear. I gripped the tree limb so tight that my knuckles turned white. My best friend saw me hanging there and he told me “let go, and you’ll be all right”. I hung on even tighter. Then finally I grew so tired that the only thing that I could do was let go. Of course, the height was not as much as I thought. I picked myself up off the ground, brushed myself off, and I was fine.
This story illustrates what happens in our lives. We try to do things our way and get into trouble. Then, when we have to face the fear of our situation we hold on with a white-knuckle grip. We must understand that we have to sometimes just “let go”, and we will be OK.
I hope that you have a great weekend and a great week.
One day I was talking with a friend of mine, and she asked me a very simple question; “What are you plans for the coming week?” I proceeded to name off all of the things that I had to accomplish, all of the things that I hoped to accomplish, and all of the things that I probably would not have the time to accomplish. Her only response to my rather lengthy to do list was “Don’t you ever take the time to do anything that you actually enjoy doing?”
She was so right! Most of us do not set aside time in our week to do things that we truly enjoy. It is a sad but true fact.
My friend knows me very well, and she reminded me that I really enjoy my photography, and I also enjoy field archery, but I have not taken the time to actually enjoy these things lately. Well, now that it has been pointed out to me, I think that it is high time to make a change. Now I will resolve to set some time out of my busy schedule to actually do something that I enjoy doing, and I challenge you to do the same.
I hope that you have a great weekend, and a great week to come. It’s time to get out and find something to truly enjoy.
If you look closely at the waterfall in the enclosed photos, you will notice a distinct difference in how the water looks. The difference is based on the amount of time that the shutter was open. It took me a while to learn this technique of freezing the motion of the water in an instant of time.
Time is something that I have been thinking a lot about in recent days. As many of you know from my update email, I have a lot more time on my hands now that I am working a new schedule. So, of course I am thinking a lot about how to best spend this new found time that I have.
I think that time is like a treasure. We only have a certain amount of it every day. If we waste this precious treasure called time we have no one to blame but ourselves.
I hope that you make the most of every second. Have a great weekend, and a great week to come.

I have been thinking a lot about the concept of change recently. I have been meeting with a group of friends once a week and we have been discussing how to best make some positives changes in our lives.
The Greek philosopher Heraclitus may not have been the first person to ponder the concept of change, but he gave us a nugget of truth in 474 BC that has lived on to this day. He said “The only constant is change”.
Things are always changing with us, in us, and around us. Just in recent history the entire human race has undergone many changes. We have been able to devise machines to help us achieve our goals. What happens to these machines when our goals change? They become relics of a bygone era.
The same thing can happen to us if we get in a rut and are unwilling to change. We ourselves can become relics. Don’t let this happen to you. Remain flexible and keep setting your sites on your goals.
Hey Shel, Guess what? I'm getting married in September. Holy shit. I may have already told you that, but still. Umm...sorry I haven't talked to you in a while. It's been kinda hectic lately. Finals are around the bend and I still got a lot to do. Loves.
I saw this car and I just had to grab a camera and take a few photos. I know that the car was meant to be a joke, but it still reminded me of how we sometimes get too wound up in our lives. We sometimes let our lives get to the point where it seems like we are no longer in control. We get wound up by the stress of work, family, or friends and that stress drives us in a direction that we do not want to go.
When this happens, we have to put ourselves back in the driver’s seat of our lives and stop letting others choose the direction that we will go.
I hope that in the coming week that you will be going in a direction of your choosing.
There is a question that I have been thinking about a lot this week. What is confidence? As we go through the challenges of our lives our confidence is put to the test. Sometimes we have to do things that are outside our comfort zone. Some people mistake confidence for arrogance. Whatever label you put on it, I think that a little confidence is a good thing to have. This week I am sharing some special photos with you. I am entering the enclosed photos in an art show, and I am confident that I will win at least one award.
I hope that you have a great week full of the confidence that you need to deal with whatever situations you face.

Hey shelly!
I think you are one of my HOTTEST FRIENDS, so I nominated you for my Hot Friends list. But are you really HOT enough to be on Hotties for Sale? Find out!
May people often get very wrapped up in there likes and dislikes. Take crowds for example. Some people really detest crowds, and there are those who even fear large groups of people. It is interesting though when you think about it that we humans are not the only species on the planet to have to deal with this problem. If you will look around you, there are many examples of “animal crowds”. That would seem to me to prove that crowds are just a part of the natural order of things.
I hope that each and every member of the “crowd” of people that I send this out to has a great week.
Sometimes in life, we find ourselves “driving in the fog”. We usually don’t know how we got into the fog in the first place. Most of the time, we also can not see a way out. So we drive along aimlessly hoping that it will eventually clear.
Then something happens in our life. We come across a “light” in the middle of the fog, and we follow this light until we can come out of the fog bank. When we come out the light of the sun seems brighter somehow and the day seems clearer then we ever thought possible.
If you are in a fog, I hope that you soon find that light that will lead you out into a beautiful sunny day. I hope that you have a great weekend and awesome week ahead.
