Iris is the name I've adopted as I've moved along in my personal growth journey in real life as well as my online identity.  Most of my web pages are philosophical or informative in nature. This page is my personal rainbow.  I have my light and my dark side and everything in between, just like the colors of the rainbow.  This beautiful Iris has the power to hold it all, just like the Goddess it is named after.  The butterfly is about the stages of development and the cycle of transformation.  "If you look closely at what Butterfly is trying to teach you, you will realize that it is the never-ending cyle of self-transformation."  quote from Medicine Cards


 

Iris
"The Sacred Power in Your Name" by Ted Andrews

"This is a name that ties one to the healing forces of light and life.
The rainbow has the full color sprectrum within it, and thus these individuals may encounter a full sprectrum of life experiences that must be synthesized for the greatest individual expression to manifest.  In essence, many of them have come to round out their life experiences so that they can later assist others who go through similar ones.  Learning to keep situations in their proper perspective and to discern the underlying lessons in external events is essential to their peace of mind and future growth.  Fire is the element of this name, and while it can burn, it can also provide heat, warmth, and light to soothe, nurture and inspire the soul."

This is the place I play and explore  and discover.  I'm giving myself permission to process and create here. 

There are links at the bottom of the page to many different pages I've created or will create with my rainbow spirit....lol...If they aren't working yet, please check back soon!  I'm going to be playing here alot.

Please visit the link to Nouveau Iris - it is a gorgeous drawing of Iris that was given to me by CandeeKis as a special gift!  Thank you from my heart!  It is a large image, well worth the wait.

I have links to the gifts I've received and some of the gift pages I've had so much fun making for my online friends.  I have to be honest and say I have not updated my website in about 2 years.  Many of the gifts I've received have been archived or lost.  If your gift is not displayed, I apologize.  I received it and thank you. 

I also have a page called Shalom or Peace.  It is a place for me to share some of my experiences of living in the Middle East and my feelings about peace and other related issues.

Open-Winged Heart Award - This is an award that I have on the My Heart's Rainbow page.  It is given in recognition of loving kindness, compassion, generousity and an open-winged heart.
I have a link below to the page where you can see the award and if you like, you may nominate someone to receive this award as a gift from you.


 

 Wisdom's Dark Side

(sheesh, I feel like Luke Skywalker and if that doesn't date me, nothing will...lol)  These are issues that I've had to deal with in  myself, in my family growing up, and some of them in my family now.  I don't see them as causes but as a source for learning and wisdom.  I have a link to more information below.
Alcoholism/Drug Abuse
Codependence
Asperger's Syndrome (Autism)
Hearing Impairment
Food Related Imbalances 
Anger/Self-abuse

The fan side of Iris:  I spent alot of time as a child and adolescent reading and watching television and fantasizing. I started collecting pictures and being a serious fan of many actors and actresses when I was about 13.  I'm still a fan, but not as passionately.  My first adventure with my computer several years ago was by joining a fan group.  I'm still a member and love the friendship of the Jeff Fahey Fan egroup so much.
I have links to some of my favorite actors below. (These pages are unavailable at this time because I need to rescan, overhaul and resize my photos but they'll be here soon) Enjoy!

Big Huggs, Iris
