About Me
- Reverend Shawn
- Popeye said it best: "I yam, who I yam!" I'm not perfect, nor do I claim to be. I am an imperfect and flawed human being, with a caring heart and a loving soul ... I am a son, a father, a friend, and I am in a place engulfed by transition, uncertainty and change ... Were it not for my faith, this journey would have consumed me long ago ... for now, I take each moment as a gift ... and live firmly in the present ... because that's all we have ... and sometimes that's more than enough ... Dayenu !!

My best and most comfortable moments in my childhood were with cats. The times I was able to enjoy the luxury of a long relationship with a feline was a specail thing for me, My mother was spooked by cats on and in my bed and moments under the cover with cat-girl commumnication going on.
Calico cats are especially wonderful, perky, inquisitive and curious.
My Calico is named Jennie, for our beloved Auntie Angie, loving named by our youngest son as: AnnJennie.
Cats are special friends for all of us, older (I am in just a hair past mmm 46 hmm..) and those, younger just forming positive relationships and perceptions, or like my Mama in the hospital (I call her Mom because she is a special Grandma, age 86.
Cat relationships rule...
I'm enjoying all your pictures, especially snow angels. What great kids!
