I am a woman who loves life...
Spritual, whimsical,  
and young at heart.
.
I wonder at all the beauty
there is.
I hear fairy songs.
I see delight everywhere.
I want love to prevail.

I am a woman who loves life...
Spritual, whimsical,
and young at heart.

I pretend to be a child again.
I feel the joy of spring
in winter.
I touch flowers in the snow.
I worry that I don't pray
enough.
I cry at extraordinary kindness.

I am a woman who loves life...
Spiritual, whimsical,
and young at heart.

I understand that love
is all that matters.
I say God is my first Love.
I dream of gardens of roses.
I try to be more loving
each day.
I hope for the very best Love
for my children.

I am a woman who loves life...
Spritual, whimsical,
and young at heart.


Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

Joseph Fort Newton

I knew it would turn out beautiful, just like the one who penned it, I just didn't know how beautiful!
Ellie, this is so fantastic- so self-revealing,so true to the person whom you have revealed to me in the course of our dear friendship--I'm glad I for one, encouraged you to take the challenge--I know others will see more clearly the beautiful person I have come to admire & appreciate so much.  God bless you my lovely Friend,
