My dear Mindpower ~~ Have been given a wonderful gift of poetry and love like no other has seen for a long time in this world that we live in...

You speak beautiful words and we listen like children to their parents with such love and compassion. Think not of what people say about you but how you see yourself.

You have touched a many of us with your loving words and sometimes "quirky" trivia...I love those by the way!! So do yourself a big huge favor...

LOVE YOURSELF!!



Never doubt yourself just know that we are here and that you have many people who love you and want you to be happy...But you need to be happy on the inside first!!

Nobody can take away your passion for your poetry and nobody should take away your passion for life. Walk with your head held high and know in your heart that God loves you for who you are ...

NO MATTER WHAT!!!

Here is something to keep with you always...Te Amo Mija! That means in Spanish I love you my daughter!! Never forget that!!

TE AMO MIJA

You are now my daughter here and forever...

Anthony and I were looking at funny pictures and he saw this one and said "That man is Dippy!"

I never laughed so hard!!!

This is fun

Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who take chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding, someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.
