How much is too much and how much is not enough?
Inquiring minds want to know! lol

I've met along my many journeys many famous, remarkable people..... am a long time friend to a retired Boston Red Sox player and played hostess to some of the *retired* Red Sox greats during the World Series in Boston., met Frank Sinatra Jr (sat at our table for drinks), James Drury (the Virginian), partied with the Velvet Underground, and the list goes on...
was a go-go dancer (with the white boots) lol, in So. Carolina ( to mostly service men), lived on the beach and ran with the lifeguards every morning in N.H., moved into the North End, Beacon St., and Commonwealth Ave. in Boston, shopped on Newbury St., had my own furrier on Washington St., went on my first blind date back in the 80's with a jeweler to Puerto Rico for 10 days (it was a tail end of a junket & stayed longer than planned as I had a horrendous sunburn), and also Traveled by foot/thumb (lol) to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and watched the Great Satchmo play on Bourbon St and finally lived in Houston, TX for a few years before moving back to New England which ended my *gypsy* travels ;)

Worked as a paraprofessional counselor to disadvantage youths, and with people of all ages who've had addictions..was invited as a guest speaker on 30 speaking engagements including one at MIT in Boston.
Received my degree in the late 90's and had a long standing correspondence with someone at the White House.

Have a great collection of autographs/photos including former President Bush, and the Clinton's, James Drury, Frank Sinatra, Jr., Grace Slick, etc.

As for my poetry, I've been interviewed on National TV and Local Cable News, received Letters from the White House, as well as having received Congressional, Senatorial and Mayoral awards including many write ups in our Newspaper.
Was selected among many to attend/give my first public *open mic* and a CD was made of all readers. A few of my poems have been published in books/newpapers.

I now lead a quiet, simple life and no longer do I consider myself high maintenance LOL
As you can tell, I'm a very loving, caring, compassionate person.
Anything else that may peak your interest, please send me an email ;)

GEMS MAY BE PRECIOUS,
BUT FRIENDSHIP IS PRICELESS!

The WEAK can NEVER forgive.
Forgiveness is the ATTRIBUTE of the STRONG.

A man's worth is not measured by his wealth but by his beliefs.
If he stands for what he believes in he is truly a man.
And he then has worth.

"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience
that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."

~SENSUAL APPEAL~

I'm looking for simple things, that take my breath away
An unexpected surprise, that I find at the end of my day,
A phone call, or in the mail, a heartfelt card from you
Once in a while, my favorite flowers, a single one would do.

A story you thought humorous, to share your laughter with
Or meeting at a nearby restaurant, with its' fireplace warmly lit,
An encouraging word, your smile, a simple touch of your hand
In the midst of my uncertainty, you tell me you understand.

A long drive just to get away, as long as it's with you
Or a walk along the ocean shore, finding a seashell or two,
A picnic basket you put together, as we sit under the shade
And your lips meet mine, wrapped in a warm embrace.

These are the simple things, that make my heart sing
To the tune of share happiness, and all that you bring,
Showing you care enough, expressions of how you feel
Wanting me in many ways, it has a very sensual appeal.
