WISHING YOU A SUMMER FILLED WITH SUNSHINE, HOPE, AND GOOD TIMES!WHO IS THE "DESERT MERMAID"?Besides traveling coast-to-coast, swimming the vast seas, dodging the tsunamis, catching a few waves, basking in the sun, frolicking with the dolphins, collecting pearls and shells, blowing bubbles, and waiting patiently for her handsome sailor or Merman to appear ... "Victoria" spends part of her time in the "Land of Enchantment" ... hence her nickname, the "Desert Mermaid"! "I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." ~Christopher Reeve~ Although "Victoria, the Desert Mermaid", misses the dolphins, manatees, and other tropical aquatic mammals, she makes the most out of her arid desert environment. She has become friends with the lizards, roadrunners, and prairie dogs and often, swims in adobe territorial-styled pools. Instead of being surrounded by coral and seaweed, she is now protected by the cacti and sagebrush. Often when she gets homesick, she looks up into the clear blue, sunny skies which remind her of the clear blue, sparkling seas. The "Land of Enchantment" is also known for its performing, visual, and creative arts, something Victoria has always enjoyed. She has always been creative, artistic, and imaginative and loves to draw, paint, sculpt, design, and create. She also loves dance and all types of music -- from Classical to Indie to Reggae to Celtic to Pop to Rock. She would definitely be lost without her SeaPod! :) In addition to her love for the arts, Victoria has always been community-minded, peace-loving, health-conscious, family-oriented, and environmentally aware -- a real asset to the sea! She is close to her Merfamily, Starfish cousins, and Dolphin friends. She gains her strength and inspiration from her family and the seas. Without them, she would not be the "Mermaid" she is today. Unconditional love, patience, understanding, compassion, and the ability to see above any challenging situation has provided her with good, solid core values. She is blessed and thankful for her good tidings. Victoria believes in helping others and in the creation and promotion of positive and healthy environments. She is dedicated to helping others in need, especially those with rare medical disorders, such as Mitochondrial Disease, and/or developmental disabilities, such as Autism (please see the section on "Autism & Mitochondrial Disorders" below). She advocates for the fish who lose their scales, the dolphins who can no longer make sounds, the clams who can't bake, the sea urchin who loses his urchins, the hammerhead shark that can't find a nail, the seahorse without a saddle, the snail with no shell, the clownfish that can't get a laugh, the pipefish who can't smoke, the grouper who prefers to be alone, the kelp who needs help, the sole without a soul, the smelt that can't smell, the swordfish who can't fence, the odd cod, and the school of fish without a teacher ... Victoria hopes to make the world a better place for all land and sea creatures alike! Enjoy your visit to the "Land of Enchantment" and feel free to swim by anytime! Good, kind people and friendly sea creatures are always welcome! "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." ~Anatole France~ Wishing you a "SEA OF LOVE"!"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love." ~Henry Drummond~ May your life be filled with love, health, peace, and good fortune! "The love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned." ~Somerset Maugham~ "All you need is love."~John Lennon~ "People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. ~St. Augustine~ "May your life be filled with people, places, and things that touch you at the core of your being." "Love to one, friendship to many, and good will to all." "May the friends of our youth be the companions of our old age." "It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and a lifetime to forget them." ~Author Unknown~ "Everything is simpler than you think, and more complex than you imagine." ~Goethe~ "Candles are a gift of light, A tiny sun, a bit of star. No other dancer in the night Dances with such sheer delight, Little souls serene and bright, Each a glimpse of what we are Shining innocent and pure." "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." ~Buddha~ "To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect." ~Oren Arnold~ "I like the dreams for the future better than the history of the past." ~Thomas Jefferson~"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude." ~Dennis Waitley~ AUTISM & MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASE ... |

"Life is overflowing with the new. But it is necessary to empty out the old to make room for the new to enter." ~Eileen Caddy~ "Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~Howard Thurman~ "To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." ~e. e. cummings~ "We are more than what we do ... much more than what we accomplish ... far more than what we possess." ~William Arthur Ward~ "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." ~Mark Twain~ "Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." ~Red Auerbach~ Desert MermaidAs you may have guessed, I'm a "FISH OUT OF WATER", here in the "LAND OF ENCHANTMENT", since there aren't too many MERMAIDS living in the DESERT! I cherish FAMILY and FRIENDS ... practice EMPATHY and COMPASSION ... and seek a life filled with TRAVEL, ADVENTURE, PASSION, PEACE, LOVE, HAPPINESS, MEANING, and PURPOSE. TravelI love to travel -- especially to coastal areas, islands, and other exotic places -- anywhere with lots of sunshine, water, and scenic views! Culture, Art & MusicI enjoy learning about new cultures, trying out new foods and wines, visiting new and familiar places, meeting interesting people, exploring uncharted seas, and experiencing the sights and sounds of beauty -- in art, music, architecture, and nature. I believe one can find hidden beauty and new adventures in all areas of the world. Favorite Types of PeopleI'm drawn to CREATIVE, SOCIAL, FUN-LOVING, and INTELLIGENT creatures of the land and sea ... No Guppies, Sharks, Slimey Seaweed, Jelly Fish, Sponges, or Barracudas for me!!! :)Hopes & DreamsI hope to leave the world a better place ... while inspiring, helping, learning, teaching, painting, creating, designing, dancing, swimming, rowing, sailing, or snorkeling "THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED"! Pearls of Wisdom"Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~ "To laugh often and much ... To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children ... To leave the world a better place ... To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived ... This is to have succeeded." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~ "The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~ "The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the mermaids come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone." ~George Eliot~ "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." ~Albert Einstein~ "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye." ~Antoine De Saint-Exupery~ "The past is history. The future, a mystery. The here and now is a gift. That is why it's called the present." ~Unknown~ "When you come to the end of all the light you know and you are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly." ~Unknown~ "To reach a great height a person needs to have great depth." ~Unknown~ "I believe that life was meant to be embraced, not just endured; treasured, not just tolerated; savored, not just survived; advertised, not just avoided; illuminated, not just ignored; and most of all, I believe that life was meant to be celebrated!" ~Unknown~ "In every journey, there is meaning. In every conflict, there is growth. In every action, there is purpose. In every moment of doubt, remember to believe in yourself!" ~Unknown~ "Happiness is taking in all the wonders of life ~ its joys, its sorrows, its sunshine, its smiles ~ learning from the experiences each one brings you, and then, from a caring heart, giving them all away again." ~Unknown~ "Never be content with someone else's definition of you. Instead, define yourself by your own beliefs, your own truths, your own understanding of who you are and how you came to be. And never be content until you are happy with the unique person you are!" ~Unknown~ WHAT IS COURAGE? "Confronting the dragons. Overcoming the obstacles. Understanding the risks. Really living ... Always believing ... Going the distance ... Expecting the best!" ~Unknown~ "Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart." ~Unknown~ "To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart." ~Unknown~ "If someone betrays you once, it's his fault; if he betrays you twice, it's your fault." ~Unknown~ "Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people." ~Unknown~ "I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen." ~Frank Lloyd Wright~ "He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses more; He who loses faith, loses all." ~Unknown~ "Fear less, hope more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Hate less, love more; And all good things are yours." ~Swedish Proverb~ "Beautiful young people are acts of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art." ~Unknown~ "Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself." ~Unknown~ "The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment." ~Dorothy Nevill~ "Anger is only one letter short of danger." ~Unknown~ "Paying attention to other people's character is revealing. Although we are habitually drawn to the appearance and personality of others, it is best to always bet your money on character. It is the most consistent predictor of human behavior. Spend your time with true characters. You will not always like their perspectives. But you will know them." ~Unknown~ "Mermaids don't run from life, they swim towards it!" "Always dream beautiful visions of the world!" Mermaids in Training"One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."~Helen Keller~ |
