[written in 2009] Transformation has become my middle name. So much has changed in four years that it's like I'm reliving my 20's. Physically, mentally... aspirations, motivations...you name it. I went back to college to learn and grow; I don't care for stagnating. Yeah, seriously... I had 15 years on these kids. At least it kept me young. Now that it's over I kinda miss it - but I'm looking forward to starting the next chapter and that involves a career change. Which precludes my 11th move in 12.5 years (oh boy! - not.)
I have friends who love me very much and I am very grateful for them! I occasionally need a clue by 4 to the head, or a swift kick in the ass, and they are the best people for either.
I am looking for a place where I belong, in my career, in love, in spirituality, in life. This causes a certain amount of wanderlust. Like everyone else, I am not sure where I am going to end up but trying to have the ride of my life to get there!
I have three kids, Chavez, Chica, and Chimi(chunga) all being Chinchillas. I am a hard core critter lover and have raised virtually all of them (gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, etc) at some point or another. Someday I would like to add a Sugar Glider and a Welsh Corgi to the mix.
I also have a tendency to run through forests naked. Uh, Did I say that outloud?

RISK
Author unknown
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to others is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken,
because the greatest hazard in life is to do nothing.
The person who risks nothing,
does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes, they are a slave,
they forfeited their freedom.
Only the person who risks can be free.
