If Only We Could Continue Our Dreams...
You're standing on the ledge of a high cliff, looking down at the crystal clear water. It was so mesmerizing that it distracted you from what was actually going on.

Life Forced Me into a Tailspin so I Changed Directions
The new me is a little overweight, maybe 10–15 pounds, but still sexy as hell. My hair color is varied; according to the box the base color is Beeline Honey, but a stylist added light blond and auburn highlights. At one time, they blended beautifully. Then the grey roots grew exposing a skunk line down the middle of my head. I covered that with some anti-grey wash-in dye my husband used and learned "Just For Men" means not for women.
