Life with Fishlips

There are days I hate myself. 

I expect the most from myself; and when those days I don't match up to my own expectations...I can really give myself a talking to. 

Mostly I love myself.  I am truly happy being me.

I also don't usually posts pics of myself...This is a favorite...happy, relaxed, on vacation!

I was born during a blizzard in Brooklyn, NY.

November 17 is my exact date of birth. Yes I am a Scorpio.

Scorpios are the sign that knows within moments of meeting a person if they good or bad, happy or sad, truthful or a lying thief,  trustworthy, physical & mentally healthy; and someone I should allow into my life.

As a Behavioral Specialist I got to become friends with several special peep's through my employment

I love each of the them very much.

the ones who taught me Patience

as I taught them to Enjoy life without Anger:

The Best Coworker's I could ask for:

Never an Empty Stomach while Traveling in Europe

Six were simply not enough. 

Paris won my heart with all the wonderful food. 

Although; honestly I don't believe any of the 9 countries fell flat for wonderful food.

My cravings of food go from snails to fine chocolate.

I love seafood.

Not a huge fan of red meat.  BUT
A 6oz Filet Mignon with grilled blue cheese topping can get my attention.

Fresh salads and veggies thrill me.

Rolled Zucchini with Tuna and fresh melon - Rome

Heavenly Dessert... Rome 

Wine in Israel is outstanding!

Yearnings to Travel

Travel yearnings are upon me once more. 

I will be taking off for a year from work to do things that only please me. 

During the summer weekend trips thave been planned.  To visit several cities in Alaska I been dreaming to see: Sitka, Juneau, and then revisit my favorites Homer, Kenai, Talkeetna. 

As I sit and ponder my travels I also plan to visit Iceland, Russia, more of Europe.

I have no clue where I got the travel bug to visit far off places...it doesn't matter, I have a wander lust that must be completed it seems before my time on earth is over - at my age now its paramount I travel and see the wonders of the world.  THEN:

Come September I will be a university student once more. I shall be taking several university courses.  University of Alaska, Anchorage offers a full range of options for my passions: photography, creative writing and pottery. 

The photography course will only heighten my yearnings to be that National Geographic Photographer who snaps a bloom as it slowly opens to the morning rays after the evening dew filled it's thirst upon the ever dried soil.

Or to Capture the mother who yearns to be free from her child and be a child herself once more.

Or perhaps the award winning Botanical shot shall tickle my fancy...

 

Creative Writing is a tool I be using to write a book about my adventures as a Behavioral Specialist working with folks who have various disabilities. The past 7 years working with those who have mental disabilities and mental health issues has given me much thought to my own life and how very lucky I am to experience so much. All too often we forget to take time for ourselves.  Writing gives me a change of scenery and a place to soften the edges of life when those around you are different.

Pottery will be a form to express myself in every day items.  A bowl, a cup and plate. 

My life path varies from most.  Being the odd duck has never stopped me from doing as I wished my motto has always been "I am woman Hear Me Roar". 

I love many and shall continue to love many as I walk among people who also are taking the journey to the end of time and with a passion to guide them.
