I am a blog writer at two sites: Rockford Register Star: Arts4All AND The Red Tent: The Movie

I work as the Education & Community Engagement Director of a Regional Arts Council which means I beg "the deciders" to fund and support the arts for everyone, not just the rich.

I am also a mime. For those that hate mimes, I understand. But you'll never find me annoying people on the street, unless I'm living there. I'm a "concert mime" ...which means you have to buy a ticket.

I've been married to my one and only since 1976. Still happy. Still in love. Two kids, six grandkids. In college I became a Baha'i (a world religion whose main theme is unity). It keeps me relatively sane in a world gone mad.

Thank you for this.
You picked the right colour for your Mom, as you said, without even knowing why.
Very cool remembrance.
:-)
I liked your mom more and more as I read this and felt a familiar connection to her and to you. I, too, love red but shy away from the spotlight and don't wear it much. A cardinal is my favorite bird and I often get cherry red on my toenails. And my husband's hair (or the hair he used to have) is auburn.
The heart on the red granite gravestone--I could barely breathe because of the emotion that filled me when I read that.
R~
I cannot express, without getting ridiculously sentimental, how much it means to me for you to stop in and take the time to write your wonderful comments.
Thank you all.
And joyous holidays.
I wonder what it is with cardinals. My mother's mother loved them and had a feeder on a windowsill so she could watch them. My father's mother said if she ever came back, she'd come back as a cardinal - and a cardinal perched on her coffin at her burial service all during a duet my cousin and his wife (professional actors) sang.
ame i- hhmmmm...now that I think about it...my house is rustic red and lately I've been dyeing my hair auburn
moviegeekmj (real life bro who had some of his presents returned)-thanks for the nice comment-means a great deal coming from you,
rainee-yes, my mother was passionate about my father, no question...and vice versa
Polly-yes, the memories of my mother always bring tears and laughter.
Thank you all for stopping in and sharing your comments.
Blessings.
