Phyllis's Story
What have I been up to? Anything I want! I have many interests and try to pursue them all. From hiking in the mountains, reading, oil painting, gardening, genealogy, reading, traveling with my husband, walking, exploring... You know, life is meant to be lived, right? Why sit around doing nothing when there may be an adventure suited just for you right around the corner? I want to make sure that at the end of my life I have no regrets.
Music! Yes, love all types of music from classical, alternative, rock, country, ethnic, etc., etc., etc.
I was just one of many students at Alhambra High School wandering through life, praying I would graduate with my class. Like most of us, I wanted to be liked, and wanted to have fun! Never tried or did drugs. never was exposed to it! (Thank God. What would have happened if I had????)

But this is a lie"
We need to "reject (the) prescribed plagiarism of somebody else's tour de force" and find the masterpiece inside of us. "If you go to your grave without painting your masterpiece, it will not get painted. No one else can paint it. Only you"
Sometime during my life, I set out to paint my own canvas. I invite others to do the same. Phyllis
