7/19: Yeah, don't email me anymore, the excitement has worn off. LOL.

7/14: I think my website got Stumbled Upon!! Cuz I got an email from someone with a correction on one of my
pages and he said it was a great stumble (ok a good stumble)...Wow! I've reached new heights! LOL Thanks to
the Stumbler for fixing my error. It was one of my "Did you know" facts. And I have to say, his version is much
better so I'm publishing his version (which I'm actually certain is the right version) under what I put.

Here is the page. I'm all about the easy peasy links as you know. Well you do now anyway.

So, on the tail of that, I also bring you:
Interesting Tricks of the Body.

Go ahead doctors of the world and tell me how wrong I am. I love it. Really :-)

6/17: Look below for today's cool thing of the day. It's called
Sky Play

6/16: Maybe I'm just tired. I present to you the Women of Strength winner of the WTF??? Award What's a Girl to
Do

6/15: Happy Father's Day!

Check out this cool new game I'm putting on the game page. My eyes are going cross-eyed with it so I thought I'd
pass it on now! :-)

6/10: Important announcement: I decided to not renew the registration for the premium version of the WOS
chat room. This only means that you no longer have to register and you will see linkable ads on the page (they
have no affiliation with me, they are ads for the site from where I host the chat room). All of the same features will
be there and it is still private from the outside world.

5/30: I added a great new game to the
game page today. Here's an easy link: Andy's Life

5/24: What's Cooking, Toots? I'm back from a long hiatus and am anxious to do some housekeeping. I had to take
down the video page because I couldn't upload my site, it was too darn big with too many broken links so I'm back
to square one. I've been scouring the web and have some good ones on disk so keep clicking back. I'll announce
when I start the repairs!

I'm going to keep the focus of the home page to be interesting things to do and read but don't forget the site
contains hundreds of other pages that are just a click away in the menu above.

As most of you know I had a baby this past August. She has been pure joy except she NEVER sleeps. So the
person who is "back" is the brain dead version so if you see any boo-boo's feel free to point them out to me!

In the meantime, give me a
shout out, let me know you are still out there. Hugs, now get reading!

    Woman of Strength

    Let me tell you who I am:

    A small fleck in the universe,
    Reflective, mindful, needy.
    Thirsty for the knowledge that will
    Allow me to traverse a
    Sea of turbulence.

    I am insecure, timid, vulnerable,
    Searching for the meaning
    Of truth - wondering,
    questioning.

    I am a pool of green,
    Willowy and wild
    Thrashing aimlessly,
    Looking for direction, yet
    Strong, decisive and sensitive,
    Filled with the shadows of time.

    I am a majestic eagle
    Soaring on the air
    Of life, warm and content.
    I am the spirit of the universe,
    the rhythm of the earth.
    I am my own destiny.

    I am a seeker, seeking out
    Visions of my past memories,
    Knowing that I must make
    Some changes in my ways.
    I weave my life within
    Tiny streams of thankfulness,
    Worshiping my own spirituality,
    Loving with an uninhibited soul.

    Let me tell you who I truly am:

    I am a woman of strength,
    To be born over and over,
    To be loved and cherished.
    I am warrior, healer, sister,
    mother,
    Aunt, niece and friend.
    A strong beautiful,
    Intelligent woman.

    A woman of strength,
    Braving the times of change.
