Reflections
I am a woman of great compassion and depth. I believe in living without regrets, so my decisions are usually well thought out. My greatest strength is also my weakness - and that is having a caring spirit.
As I mark the end of another year, I reflect on the many turbulent things that have happened this year. Fraught with endings and surprising new beginnings, 2001 promises to be an adventure... and I'm ready!
To my special man - It is your love that puts the smile in my heart, that shines on my face. Your love gives me wings. My life is richer with you and unimaginably dark when you're not around. I'm addicted to the way you make love to my mind, heart and body. I love you, baby!
