Pins page.
Alter Ego
"The continual struggle of who we are and who we are expected to
be."
Anubus
"Spring has ended...Autumn not begun. Sun filled days roll
gently by. Enjoy the long days of summer. Our seasons change
soon enough."
Bad Hair Day
"Everyone has a bad hair day once in awhile."
Best Friend
"Childhood's greatest reward is a sister who is a best friend."
Cat on the Back
"Grandmothers, have you no children? Mothers, have your children
gone? A cat on the back will give you comfort in your years."
Chaos
"The chaos of menopause is the only thing I haven't been able to
blame on my mother."
Cleopatra's Comb
"Through the ages, my comb has run its course. Now, slowly
it glides through my silver hair. I dreamed of galloping horses,
chariots racing. My life is charged with energy and zeal."
Woman's Dance
"Dancing through life with the excited discovery of each new day.
Laughter and delight! The dance need never end."
Fashion Police
"For those with discriminating taste and shopping expertise."
Female Rain
"She bends her head, the autumn rain touches the earth, bringing
the promise of self discovery and acceptance."
Song of the Fisher Woman
"The river -- a ribbon winding, always changing. Sunlight
sparkling on the water, filled with fish. The river is my mother,
she gives her children life. And so I sing a praise for her never
ending gifts."
Flight to Freedom
"The nest is empty, the children are gone. Twenty-eight thousand
meals cooked....Menupause!"
Four Faces
"Like a fine piece of jewelry at first, finely chiseled...then delicately
etched. Deeply engraved and finally a work of art!"
Song of Friendship
"I promise nothing but understanding. I give nothing but my
ear. Speak to me and I shall listen. Sing to me and I will
join you. You shall have your drum, and we shall sing together."
Frolic
"Laughter and play are not reserved only for children."
Two Friends Horseback
"My friend and I ride together. Our paths are the same.
Together, we shall share the long days of summer"
Inner Child
"Protect and nourish the child within; with joy and wonder smile
at the adult."
Life's Rider
"The ride was long and hard and I lost my dreams along the way.
When I arrived, I found them waiting."
Lost Keys
"Sometimes we need a dog on the head with a bird on the back to
remember the small details."
Mermaid
"A mermaid, not a 'mere maid.' A woman of substance!"
Mid-Life Celebration
"Among those things best forgotten are the agonies of youth."
Paws for Thought
"Pause for thought....and let the imagination run."
Recollections
"Those things forgotten, I find at the river's edge. My memories
are now like small fish splashing in the water. I recall my mother's
strong hands and my father's wisdom. I am blessed and feel complete."
Steller's Joy
"Small joys are the greatest of gifts. So we are grateful
for the blue jays who winter in our garden."
Tears of the Nile
"When our daughters were grown and our cycles ended, we moved to
the river's edge. As we wept at the passing of our youth and fertility,
the river was renewed. We were greeted by the laughter of our grandchildren
splashing in the water."
Ultimate Friendship
"Three friends is the most difficult friendship. If you hear
laughter when three people are together, then their stories will last forever."
