My brand new web site.  It's a work in progress but I built it in just one day thanks to Intuit.

Listening to Stacey Kent sing anything always makes the creative journey enjoyable.

Here is a little update, but a great big HUGE bit of inspiration for you today.  I was out blog hopping this morning and started reading A Storybook Life post.  This has to be the most inspiring story I have heard in such a long time.  Stop by and read the post, I promise you will leave feeling that you can climb a mountain.
