Hi, I'm me, and I suppose you're you, right? Well, one would assume such anyway - unless one were dizzy. If one were dizzy then they'd have no idea what was reality and what was imagination.
Seriously now - hi - I'm Gail, aka Dizzy - haven't a clue why though? Do you? .......
Lets see, perhaps some stats on this dizzy lady? - hmmmmmm... who am I?... good question. Does anyone ever really know who they are? Ok, here goes nothing - I'm me, yeah, you read it right, me - quiet, shy, tired me - have 5 children and 9 beautiful grandchildren - a handful for sure. Have finally taken control of my life, and am rebuilding and figuring the meaning behind the word 'sanity' - haven't figured out yet if such a thing really exists in my life yet? - oh yeah - 5 ft 3 inches if that matters, and weight - gimme a break, what lady advertises her weight?
Now - things I like - that's easy. I DO know what I like! I LOVE children (one would hope so having so many, eh?) - and I love to bake. I make birthday and wedding cakes on occassions. Great fun. Baking and creating with my hands is so gratefying. I also love to quilt and sew, have won numerous tri-county, and even national awards for my quilts. Owned and operated a quilt business for a while in the late 70's and early 80's - opps, mustn't be giving away my age! *smile* Sold a few in a national magazine too! Basically just love doing things with my hands, definately not afraid to learn new things. I also enjoy poetry and creative writing of many sorts. For work I've covered a lot of bases of experience, from working in a sewing factory, to making engine parts in a factory, to working as a prison guard, to owning my own businesses (one quilting, and one web design). I eventually discovered my own natural talent for helping and healing people, so got a job as a caregiver for people with disabilities (RJV), then went to nursing school and became an LPN. I still maintain Michael Modzelewski's website, and most likely always will, but for the most part my current work is mostly about healing (with an occasional cake or quilt thrown in for pure pleasure!). I am an LPN doing home care and love it! I am working on continuing my education even further, and besides being an LPN, I'm also certified in Reiki, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, and EFT. I'll learn other skills as time allows and slowly work towards my RN, then beyond.... I love the outdoors too - a long walk in the evening along the river is divine. Even sitting on a covered porch in a really tremendous lightening storm watching the lightening, listening to the pounding rain, and occassionally putting my face out to let the water fall on it is great fun. .... oh I do love a good summer evening spent like that. The child in me comes out and if not for the lightening and thunder I could run up and down the street barefoot laughing giddily like a child.
Before I bore you any further I'll be quiet and go for a long walk down to the river and go fishing.... yes, much better way to spend a sunny day than sitting at the computer.
If you like poetry - here's a link for you....
- My poetry - written by your's truely!
- ~The Making of a Cake~
What can I say? Since I'm not only the one doing this website but also the one that made the cake I get to gloat a little - besides mom had GREAT fun helping frost and decorate the cake (and take pics) sooooo...... anyone that knows my mom, knows there's lots of pics here -- 18 if my feeble brain serves me still *grin*
Anyway, be cool - and here's a thought to leave you with....
Whether your day is a good one or a bad one, if you can smile your way through it, it'll be a better one..... ~ me
