" I am the daughter of Earth and Water and the nursling of the Sky;
 I pass through the pores of the oceans and shores;
 I change but I cannot die..."

--P.B. Shelley

I am 53, yes I know that already (but it is always nice to hear it!)....I don't look like it! :o), and I don't feel like it either! I am thus a Leo..and glad to be! The Sun is the heavenly body of the Leo. For me it represents the state of unconditional love. The Sun offers its beams to the whole world without any condition. Being in accordance with that state is one of my priorities.

My name is Genevieve but all my friends have called me Gini for years, so it has been very easy to choose a nickname when I joined the Internautes' club.

I live in Belgium and my native language is French....so I can tell you that it has been a big challenge for me to make this site in English. I learned it at school many years ago (yes yes..) and it is ....let's say....rather basic, but I have wonderful American and English friends who have agreed to help me to make my writings legible.

I have been married twice, my first husband was alcoholic, and life with him was not that easy, but I am still grateful to him......he helped me to learn a lot about me and about life, and he gave me a wonderful boy who is 23....and whom I am proud of!

I needed someone to teach me this strange "html world" and you have been a marvelous teacher...so thank you Xavier for your help. I learned fast and now I am able to offer my services as a web designer. Yes I discovered that I had some talent in that area.

And the second most beautiful present the Universe gave me in my life is my second husband. His name is Christian (Cri-Cri for our friends) and he is just a heaven's gift. We have been living together for 14 years now and married for 7!

I think that we have made a success of our partnership even if we still have a few things to sort out along the way. I explain in the *What Love is* header the reasons why we have been successful in our relationship.

What else can I add?...oh yes...I LOOOOVE CATS...we have 3 cats...wonderful creatures. Sometimes Christian says that our cats don't live in our home....but we live in their's! People who have cats will understand what he means :o)

I hope you will enjoy your tour into my Universe as much as I enjoyed to make it available for you...with the desire to share with you...what I have learned....what I find beautiful....and my love for all of you folks! If you have any comment, please feel free to let me know by signing my guest book or by sending me an e-mail.

HAVE A NICE JOURNEY AND BE WATCHFUL...THERE IS A TREASURE HIDDEN IN MY VIRTUAL GARDEN!!!
