I am many women in one.
I am daughter, sister, aunt, mom,
lover and friend.
Each face I show is a different
aspect of the person I am inside.
Sometimes bold, more often shy.
Strong and capable of many tasks.
Always loving and sometimes I cry.
I get mad as hell, then laugh at
the silliest things.
I dance in the rain because.....
I can.
I curse at tourists slowing my
travels and
grumble about impolite people in
local stores.
My heart swells with a single loving
touch.
My life is full, yet incomplete.
But it's all okay because I am,
after all, just.......me! |

I
chose the name YASHTI for it's originality,
the word itself has many meanings. Yashti is a licorice,
an herb, it is also mentioned in several Hindi prayers, a prayer
in itself. The name also comes from the middle ages, the woman with
the name was a martyre, standing up and demanding rights women were not
allowed in that era.
I am many things, a dreamer most of all. Dreams are not only an escape
or relaxation, they are a necessity. Someone once called me 'dream
montage'. A 'montage', as my little
webster describes it, is...."..a composite picture
made by combining several separate pictures..". My dreaming
is a montage, a never ending combination of images and emotions.
I
was a single parent to 5 wonderfully special children, before I went slightly
nuts and thought they needed a male/father type figure and I married.
A few short years later I found myself starting over again, alone,
after losing a big part of myself. 
I am 37 and I live in a remote desert area, where my children complain
that they are too far from their friends, where they roam free without
too many worries, where they wake their RV hopping grandmother at the crack
of dawn..............and where we all laugh and love. July 11, 2002
- I am a GRANDMA! Sooner than I would have liked, but a cherished
moment none-the-less.
(An Arizona tree *s*, it is 70+
yrs. old)
Life is a great adventure that I
welcome with an open mind and growing heart, ever thankful that a new dawn
comes. From my dreaming to yours.... I truely hope you enjoy your
stay.
