Wow, she had quite the friends!Amazing! As for my 6 word bio...fallen star, working my way home...fallen star/shooting star to earth is exactly what it implies; working, as in overcoming all I've had to, and learning to do so with a zen/smile on my face, honestly; my way - my own way as I am quite the oddball (lol); home, back to the stars from which I came - the great circle found. Hope that helps explain it to you, love, Kristin
