About Me
- Patty
- My name is Patty. Welcome to my blog. I am a long time fan of Rosie O'Donnell. After 20 years of working as a dental assistant/X-Ray technician, I decided to change the course of my life. I returned to school and now I am a (Pivot Point trained) registered cosmetologist. I enjoy my chosen profession and love creating new, cutting edge styles. My specialty is color techniques and advanced skin care. I also make beautiful Fitness Hoops and love to introduce others to hooping. I'm an Etsy Entrepreneur and am loving it. I believe if you find something that you love to do, it isn't work....it's a pleasure. Thanks for visiting and please leave a comment on my blog even if it's just to let me know you dropped by!
Thank you, San

But National Guard troops called in to disperse the crowd opened fire, killing four and wounding nine others.

Thank You EZ. As I told you, the personal images are from my Mom's funeral. The video moves on to pain and sorrow around the world...then ends with a message of Hope.
I still can't believe Rosie might have viewed my video. I'm walking on sunshine!

Patty, this is heart-wrenching and beautiful. A montage which clearly depicts the universal nature of suffering. And that stone with the message of Hope, that gorgeous rose remind us to work for a better day.
Well-done! I hope many people view your video.
I've tagged you over at my place for a frivolous meme.
Patty this is amazing and sad all in one. You did a great job.
Came here from San Merideth's wonderful blog.
Yes, you're right. So right.
It's the ``tears of the clown'' syndrome.
San, thank you for seeing what I was trying to show with the video. Your encouragement is always appreciated.
I'll let you know when I've completed my meme. This should be fun...and revealing.
Anonymous....thank you for the visit and the comment. I'm glad you liked the video. Come back any time.
David, you are so right. San does have a wonderful blog.
