What do you think about the fan memorabilia, and have you ever or would you, in the future, pay good money for such an item? Have any of your fictional characters been involved in some way with fan memorabilia?

There was a time, when I was younger, I did collect things, memorabilia. The only type of memorabilia I want any more is a coffee cup and t-shirts. If I can't use, I don't want it, and I won't purchase the item. I have enough a picture on the wall of the Seat of the Universal House of Justice on Mount Carmel in Israel. I have two cups on my disk that hold pens ans stuff. I have a photo of a painting of 'Abdu'l-Baha setting by my desk, and another on the side stand next to my recliner. The pictures I use as a focus of meditation.

I'm 71 years old. I don't need a lot of stuff. As it is I have books and other stuff I have to find homes for. I suspect I may be moving sometime this year, which mean I either find homes for the books or move them with me. I'm not sure I want to move them again.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. Maya Angelou Let this quote inspire you blog entry with a mission statement.

When I was growing up, the mission of a woman (at least according to my friends) was to finish high school, find a man, get married, have children, and be a happy housewife. The example I had was my mother, who--because of my father's alcoholism--was a single parent attempting to raise four children with the help of her parents. Some of my friends were the products of broken homes, which meant that we were considered a lower class to the two-parent families. Mission statements were never discuss because everyone (in my social circle) was too busy surviving to worry or even think about things like that.

My Mission Statement

Treat other people as human beings,
focus on my faith and spirituality,
write, share, and publish my poetry.
