Light-thru-Leaf


    Gender: Female
    Location: Florida, USA
    Orientation: Straight
    Children: Proud Parent
    # of Kids: 1
    Height: 5'2"
    Religion: Christian - other
    Ethnicity: Latino / Hispanic
    About Me: Mother, wife, daughter, sister, art teacher, friend....I love my family and my friends, and these relationships are so important to me. I love nature--that's where I feel I connect to God the most, through the earth. You can learn a lot just by staring at the moon and listening to the the wind in the trees, I'd say.
    Music: New Age, folksy, faerie stuff;)
    Movies: LOTR, Labrinth, The Secret of Nimh, The Last Unicorn, The Dark Crystal, The Princess Bride, The Last of the Mohicans, Braveheart, anything Tim Burton, and all things Jim Henson.
    TV: Never really watch it. I loved HBO's Rome though, which I would rent on the weekends and spend oodles of time watching from my soft, comfy bed. I also have a quirky liking for that old show MASH. It's weird, I know, but Alan Alda cracks me up:)
    Books: Here's a few: The Wind in the Willows, LOTR, The Hobbit, Faeries, the Newford series by Charles de Lint, the Chronicles of Narnia, and many others.
    Likes: Art, traveling, music, rainy days, the sea, the woods, horseback riding, books, tea, fantasy stories, spending time with my husband.
    Dislikes: Mean people and people who think they're better than others. Pride (the bad sort). It's hardest for me to love people like that, but I'm trying. Anyone who is intolerant of the personal beliefs of others.
    Hobbies: Drawing, painting, writing poetry, nature walking and collecting interesting leaves, sticks, and stones, READING, looking at the art of others, ceramics, and I just got into mask-making.
    Vices: SLEEP! I love my big, soft bed and collect pillows for it. I was one of those rare babies that slept through the night from birth...My parents woke up the morning after bringing me home from the hospital and panicked when they realized it was full-on morning and I'd not woken up once. They thought I'd died or something! I've been sleeping soundly ever since;)
    Virtues: Hmmm...Well, I try, but I wouldn't number myself among the few virtuous people that have graced this planet. I am a public high-school teacher though, and I think that counts for something!
    Heroes: My husband, for being the hardest worker and most giving, unselfish person I know. My daughter, beacause she is magical and from the stars. I'm so lucky she chose me!

    My other blog

    Saturday, May 24, 2008, 10:24 AM EST [General]

    Hi all,

    I just wanted to put the word out that I now have a typepad blog: 

    spiritsidestudios.typepad.com

    I have been posting there since the first of the year, and have a few paintings up too.  It's not much right now....I got pregnant in March and have had horrible morning sickness ever since, so I haven't been creating very much art lately.  School will be out in two weeks though, and I hope to be able to devote that energy into artwork over the summer.  The faeries have been visiting, and I have loads of ideas!

    I will try to post here more too.

    Love and Light,

    Ooops!

    Sunday, October 21, 2007, 07:52 PM EST [General]

    Somebody sent me a friend request today, and I accidently denied it...I have a laptop with one of those funny mouses where you just move your finger over a pad and tap...Well, I accidently tapped the wrong place:(  So, I don't know who you were, but I'm sorry!  I didn't deny you on purpose, and I'd love to be friends if you'd resend your request.  I'd send you one, but I can't remember your name, it all happened really fast:(  Drat.

    Introduction

    Saturday, October 20, 2007, 11:33 AM EST [General]

    Oh!  Hi there!  Welcome to my little faespace.  Have a seat; would you like a cuppa tea?  I am new here and a lover of all things faerie.  I teach art at a local high school, and I love to draw, paint, and sculpt.  My first love, however, is reading, especially fantasy literature.  I used to teach literature, but grew tired of grading papers!  I love myths, legends, and all things swirly and mysterious!  I'm here to meet like-minded folk, different-minded folk, artists, dreamers, and any other friendly faerie-folk that may be flitting about!

    Hello Light-thru-leaf, thank you for your kind invitation, I'd love a cuppa - milk, no sugar please! Being a teacher makes you a complete hero in my book, well done you and thank you again - what wonderful work good folk like you do and because of your magical ways and special energy, those younglings are blessed indeed! (We're watching MASH at the moment with our boys, it would be a shame for this generation to miss out - and learn...)

    Your bed sounds fantastic, I go to mine when the going gets tough - some women shop, I retreat under the duvet with BBC Radio 4.

    Smiles, from a fellow collector of stones and other treasures found through the years and still loved,
