Hello, and welcome to my world.

Lived believing in A Rainbow of Hope 

When I first started making web pages, 

it was only to see "if I could". 

Since then they have become my therapy, my outlet, 

a way to share a few of my thoughts,

hopes and dreams.




My life's journey has been a comparatively long one.

As I look back down the path I have followed,

I feel the pain of lost dreams, hopes,

and the pain that those I have loved caused me.

But I also ache with hurt I have unintentionally caused others.

So, as I have forgiven those who hurt me, 

I can only hope those I have hurt, 

have forgiven me. 

Bad memories, fed constantly, by remembering, 

only lead to bitterness and more pain.

Aw but I have been happy, 

joyous along the way also. 

I have felt the warmth of summer's rain, 

soared with happiness on the wings of eagles, 

felt the caress of my lovers breath on my skin.

So my journey has been a good one.



I have been Wife, Mother and Grandmother,

but first and foremost,

I am a woman. 

I don't need a title of being something to someone else

to make me a whole person. 

To make me "worthy" of taking up my 

space on earth.

I am a woman, with hopes, dreams,

and faith in a better tomorrow.



Age is only a state of mind. 

If we remember to 

believe in Fairies,

Unicorns, Angels,

and an all loving,

forgiving and knowing Deity of our choice, 

then we are ageless. 

Years shouldn't dim our dreams, our hopes,

our faith in our self.

We should grow, 

become wiser, more forgiving of others 

AND of ourselves.

So Please, sit back, relax,

and enjoy your visit to my

"home on the web".

Many of you have asked what the name

Aradia means:

here  is one sites definition

Aradia

The name of Aradia has given you
an appreciation for many beautiful
and refined aspects of life-
-music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, 
where you find much peace and relaxation,
but it creates a far too sensitive nature.
You sense and feel much that you do not understand,
and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts
and wonder about their origin.
You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability
of thinking or emotional control.
At times, you are very inspired,
desiring to be with people
and to entertain others as the 
"life of the party," while at other times you are aloof 
and choose to remove yourself entirely from association.
You crave understanding and affection
but your intensity of desire 
and your self-consciousness
prevent you from finding the happiness you desire. 
You have suffered many disappointments 
and misunderstandings because of your
inability to express your inner thoughts.
