Creating Heather: 4th of July

Happy Fourth of July everyone and Happy Birthday USA
Despite the small amount of rain today we are looking forward to a great fireworks show this evening. Hope you have a great one!

Some stuff about me

I love dragons along the lines of T.R.R. Tolkein or Anne McCaffrey
I love to read. I read voraciously. Some favorites: John Irving, Greg Bear, Michael Crichton, JK Rowling, Dean Koontz, Robert Jordan
I'm an active member of St. John's Metropolitan Community Church. I've been running the sound booth for morning services for a bit now and am involved with some of the leadership training as well.
I always wanted to be involved in writing in some format but tried to be practical and got a degree in Science instead of English. Now I've written and developed training material and currently work as a training manager for a large corporation.
I swore I would never be a teacher then ended up as a trainer. There is a difference (at least in my mind). I trained adults for 1-3 weeks and then sent them on their merry way.
I grew up with a dog and always considered myself a dog person but now am owned by a cat. When I moved in, Cali adopted me as her human and she is so small, fiesty yet sad, that I couldn't resist.
I'm a geek. i love bad sci fi movies and a good sci fi book

Great quotes

"Speak truth and be still." - Rev. Dell Hinton in a sermon on a visit to St. John's. Rev. Hinton is the pastor of Sharp St. Baptist Church in Baltimore.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
- Paul Atreides in Frank Herbert's Dune

Until one is committed there is always the chance to draw back; always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; – that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would not otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamt would come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has genius, magic and power in it. Begin It Now. -- Goethe
