Olive Sullivan:  

never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."" -- Ayn Rand "What I expect from my male friends is that they are polite and clean. What I expect from my female friends is unconditional love, the ability to finish my sentences for me when I am sobbing, a complete and total willingness to pour their hearts out to me, and the ability to tell me why the meat thermometer isn't supposed to touch the bone." --Anna Quindlen, Living Out Loud". More about Olive:"I'm a journalist by trade, a poet by nature, and an aspiring novelist. I live with two big dogs and spend as much time as possible walking the prairies with them, or canoeing and fishing with my boyfriend Spike, or traveling anyplace that requires a passport. Okay, traveling anyplace. The rest of the time, I'm reading, talking about books, editing books, or trying to motivate myself to complete the various creative projects that clutter my house, renovating the house itself being one of those never-ending projects.".
