i call smooth,velvety,sensuous,unbelievable.alawashka is a book i read again and again nvr get tired of it.ramtha has also had my attention 4 a while now.conversations w/god is an
all time favorite,i'v read all 3 more than a few times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A baby's smile is always an awesome experience to me,making someone laugh really seems amazing to me.Watching the sun show up and the moon show up once the sun moves out of its way that's up there on my hit parade.My mother used to reset kids arms back in their sockets when they got too wild on the monkey bars-that always seemed like a miracle to me.Having spent more
than a year in New Zealand the most amazing part of
the trip has been how incredibly & sincerely nice all
the people have been.I have been welcomed in so many
homes,included in family gatherings & treated w/luv,
respect,care,kindness,generosity-all of these no small
matter for me.I thank everyone in NZ that made my life
so much more enjoyable.

Teach, Learn, Share

luv to meet people i can learn from, devourer of books
usually reading 2 or 3 at a time.so many books so little time.where's the nearest library???
