About me, hmmm, well, for starters my name is Michele, I live in Indiana, and have for all my life (except for the 6 months I lived in Arizona), but I have traveled much of the continential United States. I am 34, was married for 12 years, but divorced for the past 3 years, BUT here we are trying it again. I/we have 2 (just barely) teenage kids (13 and almost 15 years old), wonderful kids. They are my greatest accomplishment (and proof that GOD does love me) and at the same time, they are my biggest fear, fear I will fail them as a parent.

I started writting when I was about 14 years old, I rarely write for pleasure, but instead for a release. I use the pen to vent my frustrations, my fears, and anxieties, to maybe give life to my hopes and my dreams, or just let the heart speak. I have written in excess of 200 poems, inspired by one or more people who have crossed my path in life so far. Maybe someday I will seek to publish them in book form, but for now, I am adjusting to having them placed on this site. They are after all, a part of me, and the time has come I felt, to share with you, the reader, in the hope that my words may some how reach out to you, to help, to heal, or maybe inspire the writer inside yourself, maybe my words simply cause you to think from a different view point, or maybe they might just make you smile, in ANY case, that would make my day.

As far as those weird little pertinent things about people, like.... I am a GEMINI, pure to the core. I am one of those who is affected by the phase of the moon, most think they are only affected by the full moon, but I am sure if people just paid notice to it, they would realize the new moon affects them just as oddly, (it's all in the gravitational pull, LOL). I am intensely spiritual, (not religious, but god does have ownership of my soul and he is with me ALWAYS).

Anything else you would like to know, you will have to ask me yourself, just drop me an email and I would be glad to answer, or you may contact me by icq, #100794489.

UPDATE: Don and I are doing GREAT, (third time is a charm they say, guess it's true.) We are in the process of buying our first home... being the impatient person I am, this is taking FOREVER, but we are told we will be signing papers at the end of the month :) We are all very excited, kids as well, (but they got their wish, we are only moving a block over), LOL, NEVER thought I would make such a small move, but then again, it's the little things that matter the most....this is the biggest move of our lives. Our son turns 15 at the end of the month as well, amazing how fast kids grow up, he'll be learning to drive soon, and I am looking forward to teaching him :)

FINALLY! After SO MUCH FRUSTRATION, we signed the papers for the house on the 16th, moved over the weekend, JUST in time for me to return to work, here it is two weeks later, and we are STILL tripping over boxes...(this was supposed to be a quick, EASY, move...HA!...but it is a new begining.) We finally had HOT water after being here a week (a cold shower is only good when it's taken by choice), got the phone yesterday, and BACK ON LINE TODAY!! be patient, I will be posting more poems as soon as time allows, until then, take care, and have a wonderful day! :)

still slow on the posting of new stuff I know, sorry about that...this house is still a house...not a home, (sometimes I guess we dont know what Gods' plans are.) Sometimes just getting thru the day is a task in its' self.

my god...has it really been 7 months since i did ANYTHING to this site?!! My apologies to everyone. Would you believe we are house hunting AGAIN?!! LOL *hysterical laughter* the kids and I are on our own yet AGAIN LOL. like I said before, sometimes we don't know what the almighty's plans for us are... we are hoping to find a place and be settled by the end of summer, the sooner the better. :) again, my apologies, I am trying to remain focused in my objectives, sometimes being the gemini I am, I get easily distracted :)

ok, I FINALLY got started working on the site, got rid of MOST all the dead links (I think) if you find any, please let me know. I added a new poem to "Lingering Echoes", it is written by my daughter. We found a place!!! it is currently occupied tho, will be available at the end of August :) I feel like I am coming out of the shadows again :)

Here's the lastest, we FINALLY got moved, a great relief to the kids and I. We can now get our lives back on track. They seem more relaxed these days, I know I'm feeling more relaxed. Been here 3 weeks now, and JUST got back online :) (who ever would have thought things would turn out like they did. LOL, I feel so clueless sometimes)

11-1-01

LOL, we have been living in this house since Labor Day weekend... I think it felt like home once we got all moved in :) I know we all smile ALOT more, I hadn't realized how sad the kids and I had become until we weren't sad any more. (it FEELS GREAT too) I can't even begin to guess why we traveled the road we did, what purpose was there for the experiences we went through.

LOL, anyone remember "Rocky Horror Picture Show"? my daughter (14 now) has seen it, fell in love with it, been to the theater to see it, and will most likely star in a stage production of it at some point in her life. LOL (she thinks Richard O'brien is a GOD, he's the creator of it, and also stars as Riff-Raff in the movie) (all my current knowledge of RHPS comes from my daughter... all I knew was Tim Curry was Dr. Frank-N-Furter, now I know just about all there is to know LOL) It has been a wonderful experience to watch her change right before my eyes, from a "normal-shy-soft-spoken little girl" into this "outspoken-gotta-be-different-but still my little girl" she's been a trip to watch LOL.

slowly but surely I will get new stuff posted, please be a patient a little longer :)

These are tough times we are living in right now, times have been worse and we made it through those, we became stronger, we will prevail yet again. We must not live our lives in fear, we must live our lives despite fear.

It's been awhile since I've been here... this past year has been a long one, yet at the same time went by too quickly. My kids have grown up so fast, Joe is 18 and a half, Tina is about to turn 17, amazing, they are incredible. LOL, we learned Tina is Bi-Polar (like her mother, this makes for a nutty household at times).

My grandmother died this year, she had been ill and on life support, they decided to pull the plug (she hadn't wanted the life support), she waited until the last person arrived and died before they could pull the plug LOL. She was a stubborn woman, who wanted things HER way and in HER time. We miss her greatly. I think she's the reason the Cubs made it to the world series, I think we all get one wish when we die... and that was hers.
