I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut. I have a baby and then you send him off to war. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot.

Having my animals or my children with me exorcises that feeling of not being wanted.

I used to teach dance lessons.

When my baby was born I had to know how to save her in case she fell in the pool or something like that. I went to one of these nursing places to learn how to take care of the child.

Just because you are different does not mean that you have to be rejected

The stage floor was a stage of thin ice for me to tread. To hold my own or to sink through and die, never to be remembered.

It's best if you can do things with a sense of humor and finesse.
