My life is a beach life!
I live about 20 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico on Floridas West coast
I was born and raised and married here
I have 2 children all grown up and married Michele my daughter is the oldest and is married to Patrick
They have no children (yet) They are both career minded professionals who enjoy life and Michele and I are best friends we love spending time together.

My son is the my youngest His name is Richard but we call him Richie or Rich.
He is married to Shaina and they have 1 child my grandson Charlie.
They love the simple life Fishing, camping, pic-nicing, going to the beach.
Richie works in the local School system. Shaina is a stay at home mom right now.
I am pretty close to them and Charlie is spoiled by me as much as possible!
I am unemployed right now but I spent many years as an office worker and an office manager
For about 2 years I owned a small garden shop which was great I loved it. But the competition was too
much for me to compete with. We sold our building and I went back to work in sales.
I have decided to take a course as a medical billing specialist.
So in the next year I will return to the workforce with a good secure job.

My Husband has his own business landscaping and Lawn care and he does well with it. We don't spend much time together anymore so even though we have married a long time (over 30 years)
I love to write Poetry, stories and whatever I can think of. I also love gardening, Painting, web design,Singing,
bowling, photography and making crafts especially around the holidays. Don't ask me who my favorite Author or book is because I love so many. I do love the C.S. Lewis book The Lion The witch and The Wardrobe even though it's a children's book its one of my favorites, Poetry I just love it all. Especially Robert Frost, Emily Dickenson and Kalil Gibran. I love movies and I mean everything from Romance to Sci-Fi.

I love to go to the beach when I can the sunsets are awesome!
The pictures are usually taken by me so it's hard to get a good pic of me with anyone.

The last picture on here is my very best friends we call ourselves the yayas like the move (Divine Secrets of the yaya sisterhood) from left to right , Me-Lyla,(my hair is much darker now medium blonde)
Myra in front she is the one whose house burned down, the one in back is Patti and the last one to the right is Pam.
e try to get together a few times a year for some sister time!

We are one; One in mind, and spirit.
We don't have divisions who seperate members from each other.
The two groups I was with for a while had divisions with so many members in
each one doing the duties required.
However, other members never had the real opportunity to interact with each other,
therefore they did not know how the other members were, instead they were
informed by a person in charge of a separate area, or they heard nothing at all.
This is truly a unique group In this respect.
There are two flying creatures I truly love, Butterflies and Hummingbirds.
If this were called Guest Book Hummingbirds, I would have joined just as quickly.

A Butterfly is a mysterious, and magnificent creature.
It is so fragile that the slightest touch from another creature can fatally wound it,
yet it is so strong it can withstand storms that tear leaves from the trees.
It lives to bring beauty to an otherwise dull world.
This is why I love being a Butterfly
With Guest Book Butterflies.
Loving Hugs Mary

As an assistant in Guestbook Butterflies, I sometimes prepare
The assignment for the week, and help train new Butterflies to flutter
Around the world leaving their footprints in the
Guest books of those who invite the Butterflies to do so.
There are other little things to do help out so everything
Goes well with our Butterflies.

Love is like a butterfly:
It goes where it pleases
and it pleases wherever it goes.

The green grass and the happy skies
court the fluttering butterflies.

Flowers and butterflies
drift in color,
illuminating spring.

My first Butterfly Guestbook Poem:

One need not have a voice-
for even the breeze, river, and spirit sings.
So in order to take flight-
one need not have a pair of wings.

All one must do is imagine-
with an open mind and closed eyes-
then they’ll see themselves flying-
sailing and floating through the skies.

We are all beautiful butterflies-
graceful, powerful, colorful, and bright.
And with open hearts and minds-
it’s possible for us all to take flight!

About Guestbook Butterflies: It's a small but really friendly group that really cares!

Butterflies

Butterflies go fluttering by
On colored wings that catch the eye.
On wings of orange, and silvery blue,
On wings of golden yellow, too.

Butterflies float in the air,
Making their homes most anywhere:
The rainforest, field, and prairie land,
On mountaintops, and desert sand.
If winter brings the cold and snow,
To warmer climates, off they go!
Returning home the following spring,
Beautiful butterflies on the wing!

What I like in life:

We are like butterflies

and think it is forever.

Thank you dear Butterflies
for being such a wonderful fluttering
creatures with such a wonderful
lovelight around you!

Hello my name is Lisa Marie. I am known as Butterfly Lisa in our group Guestbook Butterflies. I have been a member since the very beginning. I was very honored to be asked by Regina to join her new group. Regina or Butterfly Regina is a wonderful friend of mine. She was one of my Soulsisters and I was in the garden she ran over there called Flutterbyes. Butterfly Mariel or Mary is another great friend of mine, she was also a Soul Sister and was in out Flutterbye Garden. I had to leave Soulsisters after awhile because of health reasons and the lack of activity. Now it seems they are closed, very sad, but I made wonderful friendships there and will treasure my memories. Besides it has led me right here at Guestbook Butterflies.

A little about me... I live in the USA in Pennsylvania with two sweet Cats for roommates. I have a tiny house, just enough room for us. I do visionary artwork and channeled angel readings to support myself and my kitties Ebee a white Persian and Sasha a Tonkanese. I love to play on the computer with my paintshop pro and I am learning to pixel paint. My favorite things other than these are spending time with my sister and brother. They make me laugh sometimes till my face is sore and my sides are split. I love to take photos of my area and my favorite places. I just started to do this again since I have been feeling better.

Unfortunately I have SLE which is commonly known as Lupus and it has affected many parts of my body, too many to mention here. The most bothersome is my brain and nervous system. I have had several strokes over the years. I have been living well with this disease for 16 years.

Being a part of the Guestbook Butterflies has been very wonderful for me. Someday's I cannot get out of my house and I know I can log on the computer and visit with my butterfly friends. It really has meant the world to me to be a part of such a wonderful group. The people we visit each week, are so appreciative of our tiny efforts and they always sign out guestbook and let us know how much it has meant to them and how happy they are we visit each week. As you probably have guessed by now I love Butterflies, some other of my favorite things are angels, fairies, ladybugs, favorite animals are cats dogs, horses , deer, doves, dolphins just to name a few.

Guestbook Butterflies fluttering to your door,
Brings love and happiness and so much more.
We flutter in the rain, the cold, in hail and the snow,
The weather never stops us, this you should know.
Magic and imagination are are key to our success
Without them both our visits would be much less.
Keep your eyes and even your ears open for our call
We bring cheer every time whether in the spring ,summer, winter or fall.
It may be in the form of a poem or a song, maybe even a recipe or two.
Always I hear we bring smiles to our members faces even when they are sad and blue.
This is our mission so let there be no doubt
We will find you and sprinkle you with magic and love because that is what we are all about.
