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been archived or lost.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
