Profile

If you know me and want to read more than what I post publicly, comment on a public post with details (you will need a LiveJournal account to see the juicy stuff). If you want to get to know me, comment, too. I don't add everyone, but I do love to find new friends who are truly kindred spirits.

About me

I am mother to five fabulous people.

I am always interested in new friends, though I do not tend to add people who have new journals or no entries at all.

Also: I collect quotes. They comprise most of my public entries. The following are a few of my favourites:

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing, there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
~Rumi

I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
~Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Write your hurts in the sand and carve your joys into stone.
~Unknown

Be kind whenever possible. it is always possible.
~Dalai Lama

You are a midwife, assisting at someone else's birth. Do good
without show or fuss. Facilitate what is happening rather than
what you think ought to be happening. If you must take the
lead, lead so that the mother is helped, yet still free and in charge.
When the baby is born, the mother will rightly say: “We did it ourselves!”
~Tao Te Ching
