I grew up in South India and Sri Lanka, and have lived in such colorful places as New Orleans, Charleston, Boulder, Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Minneapolis, New England and Malibu.
I have two grown daughters that I raised alone, I have four grandchildren, at different times I have had three golden retrievers and I look forward to having another!
In the birthday greeting words of an old friend:
“You are a wonder, you are light, you are a free spirit, a meditative soul, and a magical mamgee. When I think of you, I see you flying high, the whole world far below.
You skate with abandon, you have the heart of a child, and you see the world through the eyes of a poet. You are a craftsman of words, a teller of tales, and a dreamer of dreams. This Earth is a far richer and more joyful place because of your birth!”
I am herewith acknowledging Norman, my former husband and forever soulmate and heart’s friend for creating this website.
We are all blessed!
