She lives in America, loves to teach, and cherishes her family
Married on Christmas Day, 1998...
He is her fantasy.                 And her reality.                  Eden of heart.
Her firstborn daughter is a luscious rainstorm in a tiny body,
And a superb hugger.
The newest little one, is growing stronger every day.
Two sisters: bliss amidst turbulence.

The Russian literature studies are a passion; of intellect, of spirit...
The study of the Russian twentieth century entails
enough heartache and triumph for three lifetimes...or many more.
May you, too, oh lovers of Ideas, of Thought, of Mankind,
May you also find the meat which you so ardently seek, which you yearn for.
Oh Seekers of Truth-
May you be guided by the wisdom of God, and by compassion
May you fall upon hard times, and may you struggle
May you fear-

And may you seek not peace, nor comfort, but understanding.

She bids you, "fare well".
