TRAVEL YOUR DREAMS

Back in my hometown of Chicago, is a beautiful hidden nature park that was created in a wetlands area. It has hiking trails, a butterfly garden, baby animals, a lake with water so clear you can see fish, nature museum and waterfall. The waterfall casts a magical spell. It is at least 40ft high and is the source of a small stream that runs thru the park. Near the west side of the waterfall, is a hidden steep vertical trail off the path winding up into the trees. Of course, upon noticing it, I had to take that path to see where it led. I climbed straight up into the trees. The pine scent was intoxicating. Suddenly, I was amazed to find myself at a secret secluded grove above the top of the Waterfall. I followed the echoes of water toward a big boulder at the end of the grove, and was on the edge of the waterfall, rewarded by a breathtaking view of the entire Moraine Valley.  Miles and miles of green grass and endless forest and blue skies.

2006 already?  Reflecting how things have changed over the last 6 years since I got my first computer. I started my internet business from my home in Chicago with nothing but a single idea and advice from my ex's Dad who was a self made millionaire. It snowballed into an amazing adventure. I am forever grateful for Ed, who gave the gift of believing in me. It paved the way for me to go West to Vegas and fearlessly follow my Dreams. Since then, my little AOL page that evolved into a 9 page website "Rock & Roll Revolution" about the power of Music, has come and gone. All those long snowed in Chicago frozen winter nights paid off.

Never in my life would I imagine all this to happen.  As a college student in Chicago majoring in Art and Broadcast Journalism, I had poetry published as a teenager and won awards for creative writing and ar...

How did it get to be 2006 already? Reflecting back, wow, how things have changed over the last 6 years since I got my first computer. I started my internet business from my home in Chicago with nothing but a single idea and advice from my ex's Dad who was a self made millionaire. It snowballed into an amazing adventure. Most importantly, it paved the way for me to leave my depressing hometown forever on December 29, 2001, and go West to Vegas and follow my Dreams. Since then, my little AOL page that evolved into a 9 page website "Rock & Roll Revolution" has come and gone. All those long snowed in Chicago winter nights paid off, as I taught myself basic webdesign. Last year I starting designing websites for others, and getting paid for it. My online music column "Rock Report" is gone too, the webmaster no longer has the domain and no longer has the funds to keep it going. Interviewing and hanging out with rock stars whose Music I listened to growin...
