My Blip.fm profile: blip.fm/CelticButtafly

I have 8 children. Two have autism, and a few others deal with sensory issues. Life can be a little chaotic and crazy at times. But I can't imagine it without a single one of them. :)

I'm friendly, but cautious. Quiet, but not afraid to be loud.

I love coffee and gerbera daisies, See's chocolates and a good book. (You know, those things made of paper, with words printed on the leaves.)

I abhor strawberry ice cream, fruit truffles, and raspberry anything.

I love the romance of the sea. Tall ships, pirates, fog and remote islands...

I rather like shattering people's misperceptions. Get to know me, and you might be surprised at what you find. :)

"It is a poverty to decide a child must die so that you may live as you wish." ~Mother Teresa

 

"Above all, we must realize that no arsenal... is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women." ~Ronald Reagan

 

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" ~Patrick Henry

 

"In the beginning of change the patriot is a scarce man; brave, hated and scorned. But when his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." ~Mark Twain

 

"Upon common theaters, indeed, the applause of the audience is of more importance to the actors than their own approbation. But upon the stage of life, while conscience claps, let the world hiss! On the contrary, if conscience disapproves, the loudest applauses of the world are of little value."

~John Adams
