- Tell Us A Little About Yourself
- First and foremost I am a wife and the mother of eleven children and five beautiful grandaughters. I live to promote World Peace and do everything I can to make it happen! I feel I have a responsibility to leave this earth, oneday, better than it was when I arrived!
My children and grandchildren must also be taught this same determined quest, for their children, and theirs and theirs... So all generations can experience what I have been able to!
I love to write poetry, draw, paint, and photograph anything and everything! I am a musician, and love to play my red congas! It's what keeps me going! I am a hiker and have had many an opportunity to see this beautiful country, and even ventured out into several others. It's great exercise and the beauty surrounding, is so much better than a stuffy gym.
I say, hike up those lighthouses! ...and I would love to try everyone!
I love fishing ...and if I keep it, I eat it, otherwise back it goes!
I was the seventh child of sixteen in my family, and therefore I am very sounding...not too much bothers me, I'm easy going and have the patience of Job! Well, don't test me on that one, Lord!
I can have my moments like everyone else!
- What Music Do You Like?
- I love anything I can play my congas to!
- What are your creative outlets and/or aspirations?
- I hope I am remembered as the best mom there ever was! In my children's eyes will suffice! :)
- What or Who are your greatest inspirations?
- My Mother and Father

Your Monumental Lives For Monumental Change Box
We may born it in purple, and get all creative!
We may envision a thousand cranes flying over an olive tree
or a dove, who’s stilling in flight as a guardian light, heralding
Hark! . . . from an angel who sings;
Exulting!
But, in OUR triads of "chosenness," glory and trauma
we need to walk in it
and not just talk about it!
. . . wearing our reversible jackets
never doing, what cannot be undone
and if need be, turning to it, about facing it, head on . . .
Are you in the "white," or the "green?"
Measure your perceptible, in His "inflexion" of sheen!
Your alacrity, your albedo
. . . So, how far does yours go?
Look out your visible windows, and step back from all sentience
regnant before the flowering, work it baby, in another wilderness!
There, in your signature books, gather all your entries, and be good at it!
Beckon! . . . and, know, now, that anything human is unequaled!
If you want peace, then, prepare for war!
"Never. . . I will not lie down in that last ditch with William of Orange!"
If you want to ensure peace, must we appease tyranny
or, is it bounden to have no inkling of it?
There are no clouds in my sky, therefore the clouds do not exist . . .
"No. . . . there's no road to peace, for, peace is the road!"
Let us walk down it together so we can envision it!
Arm in arm, in a new Age of Reason, of nonviolence and empathy
Returning to the bedrock of universiality
distributing blame and arraign, and find something to respect in everybody!
Mentation. I think!
Here, where mysticism sips of unity
and quietism, should begin in our classrooms
Mickey Mouse a Chaucer? McDonald's, a Shakespeare, Madonna a Bunyan?
Yes, enlist the artists, the literary people architects and sculptors
with the painters, and the poets!
Anticipate the views that group the world!
Newspeak?
WelI, I would much rather see an artist, creatively portraying a new reach, where
People could love each other. . .
People could be beautiful!
People could be kind, and good. . .
Let's be the Coming Race with "sociological imaginations!"
Come join the scientists with us bards , just around the corner at the local bar
or, to one of my favorite coffee spots, where we could all speculate about the contents of our box!
Helping make society new!
Helping, me, for ourselves and you!
Helping the world see that the sky can be, totally blue!
May we open our corrugated flaps another way, and look at ourselves!
Hark! For, that same angel stilled, still sung
Exulting!
. . . and when the new feed is laid down in Spring; Triumphant!
Winter is almost here, purifying us, now, preparing us for Christmas
and, another New Year . . .
Let us hope, now, on a new season!
Never once, since that first garden, has it ever blossomed again
until now. . .
Two-thousand and eight
for mankind, for life!
Enter the New Eden. . .

A Kord of the Ku's, Kimmy brings you...
"Leaf-A-Bye Babe"
In the leaves, come forth
The child's face, skins against wind
Free of deadly sins . . .
Comprehending twigs.
Main stems, tapped, emanate sap. . .
Branches kiss the light.

O' Scintillations
O' Scintillations
A mourning, as the first Son aims its relevance,
willingly takes, tantalizing lashes so my eyes can wake. . .
O Scintillations!
Divine sensations;
Sleep is not an option!
Mourns a wake for all our sake
Night will come again. . .
Clocks alar… Continue

Satellite Bitch
The foresail of Ianuarius unfolds
checked,
though seemingly, creaseless
"It’s my bed . . . "
By now, we are lying on our side
balancing on flat sheets
Preferentially aligned

About
Monumental Lives For Monumental Change: ....Join Us!
We Making The Difference!" The Steps Toward A Better World Begin With The Steps Taken To Better Oneself! "A foundation is but the base and it is the collection of building blocks that creates what many should strive to ascend."
Living a monumental life doesn't necessarily mean possession of a large financial fortune or living in the spotlight of public adoration and fame. What I think it means is that you act in accordance with your own identity while acting in ways that are positive and conducive to happiness, serenity and harmony. What I think it means is that you generate positive energies and in turn, your positive energies have a positive effect on others. Linkin' Monuments-- a positive chain of energy! Read More>>>
The Thirteen Reasons
2.) Your contributions to this world are as monumental as the next person
3.)You believe in yourself because you know you "can"
4.)You believe in your neighbors because you know they "can"
5.)No matter how difficult it may seem, you are not alone.
6.)You deserve as much respect as does the next person
7.)Don't wonder so much what your life might have been but put into action what you want your life to become.
8.)You matter because we all matter.
9.)Enough failures will lead to success once you succeed in failing to give up.
10.)This world has so much to offer and you have so much more to offer it.
11.)You have many talents and abilities...a few which may have yet to be uncovered.
12.)The treasures you may seek are near enough the heart that it wouldn't take more than a heartbeat to uncover the most precious gems of all.
13.)You are here because you belong!
Welcome!
The Three Conditions
2.)As in any community each one of us has our own unique personalities, traits, belief systems, talents and as long as any of these elements are not breaches against the prosperity of the community then they should be allowed, accepted and honored. Community is about diversity. This is a Community
3.)It is my greatest hope that we learn from each other. Each one of us has so much to offer. No one here is better or smarter or more talented than the next person. Each one of us has our strengths; each one of us has our weaknesses. Your strength in one area is of great benefit to my weakness in that same area. A simple philosophy of mine: "A greedy mine is to learn, yet not teach & A lazy mind is to yearn, yet not reach" Let us not be greedy, let us not be lazy.

What an interesting life you have had, 11 children. From a family of sixteen children. I had four wanted 8 but my body would not let me. Had problems. I will have 12 living grandchildren come April.
