About Me

My photo
A Scorpio, I am. Sign of water/sexuality. Emotion. Myers/Briggs personality test resulted INTF (Introvert, Intuition, Feeling, Perceiving) 100% accurate! Only 1% of the world pop. has this personality type; the other 99% has trouble relating to INTF's! I am extremely introverted, can handle noise/crowds for exactly 1 hour before retreating to the quiet or my music somewhere. Oddly enough, I am drawn to customer service. I know these things: I love who I am! I love emotion. I am vulnerable. I care deeply. I love. And I love deeply. I will wait it out for return. I long to be loved. My children are my world. Nature is my solace, my constant, my peace. I hear each bird's tweet, adore shapes in the clouds, share the moon with everyone I know, smile at the song of my windchimes, wonder at the growth of a flower, drive to chase sunsets, enjoy a great storm, relax fully when the ocean is outside my door. My favorite word is dance. Dance represents how I strive to live..to a beat that allows my body and soul to release in rhythm. I am over 50 now. Dance with me ... while there is still time!

Just A Few Sleeps Away

At the end of this emotionally exhaustive day, I hope you will dance with this:


"She (was going) to be back on the 12th or 13th (of September 2001).  So our thing was, to make it sound like less, I just kept telling her it was only two sleeps away.  That was like our thing.  Whenever one of us would go out of town, you know, be away from each other, it was 'Just a few sleeps away'."

~Al Kolodzik, recalling a phone conversation he had with his
  fiancee, Andrea Haberman, shortly after she had arrived in
  New York City late on the night of Sept. 10, 2001

(Excerpt from Just A Few Sleeps Away)
____________________


Andrea Haberman, a 25 year old girl/woman enters the World Trade Center on 9/11/01 for a meeting on the 96th floor.  She has never been to NYC before.  She has never been inside the World Trade Center before.  She is a Wisconsin, mid-west born and raised girl.  She was to be married in September of 2002.  Andrea, did not make it home to be married.  I watched Soledad OBrien of CNN interview Andrea's father tonight on a BEAUTIFUL special put together by Soledad on WOMEN HERO'S of 9/11.  It was HEART WRENCHING ... yet, it was INSPIRATIONAL. 

As I ready myself for bed tonight, I am truly emotionally exhausted from this day of remembrances, but I am full of inspiration from all of the incredible people it feels I have met ... and as I drift off to sleep, I know that Andrea Haberman will be on my mind and in my heart. 

I only wish that there was someone here to hold me and love me ... I love dancing, but sometimes, it is difficult to dance alone; especially when my emotions are on high alert.  ~Sweet dreams, 9/11~
