In October 2008, I was honored to put on an "Endangered Species" Art Show at the Local "Chamber on the Arts" that featured roughly 35-40 pieces of my work. I was able to get 2 elementary schools involved and incorporated into my show over 75 pieces of work done by elementary
students that also featured endangered animals.

Please see the attached article and the photographs dealing with the papier mache class that I taught in February-March of 2009. The kids were amazing and although I was the teacher, I learned so much by working with them. All the kids were extra special and I had the added joy of having my daughter in the class too!

Hey All! I'm on Facebook and Twitter! Look me up...-M

"Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood. And so it is in everything where power moves."--BLACK ELK, OGLALA SIOUX (1863-1950)
"Until he extends the circle of compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace"- Albert Schweitzer

I am a mother of a 9 year old girl, she is the light of my life. Some passions of mine include a good read, painting, working out at the gym, ROLLER BLADING (what a thrill!), going for picnics, bike riding, hiking, camping and the classic lines of a Jaguar. I love rainbows and starry nights, the smell of spring on the air in the early morning, the feel of my dog's tongue on my face, the sun on my back and my daughter's whispered "I love you Mommy" as she drifts off to sleep. Although I am a quiet optimist by nature, I am very passionate and believe any battle worth fighting is worth fighting WIN or LOSE! I am also resiliant, patient, goal-oriented and driven, have a larger than life personality (which I have learned to keep tightly under wraps, well, most of the time)and always have a plan B, C,...As I get older I have a long list of goals that I intend to complete before my time on God's green earth is finished:
They include but are not limited to:
1) Live till I'm 105 (or at least beat out the Delaney sisters)
2) Sky Dive at 90. Theory being, well, if the shoot doesn't open, my heart will give out before I hit the ground.
3) Write a book.
4) Safari in Africa and make friends with an Elephant!
5) Read, study, learn about everything that fascinates me.
6) Go back to school.
7) Travel the world.
8) NO climbing a icy, cold, frozen mountain for me, but definitely living a full summer down at the beach.
9) See my daughter grow up to be the best that she can be.
10) Leave this world knowing I made a difference.

When the Earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their Actions and Deeds shall make the Earth green again. They shall be known as the "Warriors of the Rainbow." --Old Native American prophecy

“Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, for all the hookers left the house.
The stockings were hung by the chimney without care,
In hopes that St Nicholas’ fat ass would soon be there.”
And Santa Says…
"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! Get off Donna Dixon!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! And Damnit, Don’t You All Fall!!"
~HAPPY HOLIDAYS MY DEAR FRIEND!~
