My family and friends are most important to me. I need their love, hugs, and to see their smiles,warms my heart completely. Reading a good book transports me to another time and place. Music, ah.. music, it surrounds me most of the time. It can bring me up, or relax me to a more gentle space. Movies, love them, especially foreign and independent ones. Quotations, so often inspire me,and sometimes, bring a tear to my eye. My photography tells a story of where I have been, and my vivid imagination paints me many pictures of where I want to travel next, as I enjoy a cup of cappuccino!
