Greetings fellow travelers, and lovers of words, thoughts, & ideas! This is me, with my Border Collie, Amelia. She is deathly scared of thunder storms, and needs to be cuddled and held, soothed with sweet nothings whispered in her ears. I do love her, though. Most people call me Michelle, some call me Beanie, and a few, Elizabeth. My last name is Billeaudeaux, from the french Bill-et-doux...meaning sweet note or letter of love. I was born on the 29th, and I have 29 letters in my name. I'm an Aries. My birth number is 5, and I was born at exactly 5pm. :) I'm from a very small family (Mom, Dad, Sister), that is until I had my only child...McKenzie. I'm a single mother, and wouldn't have it any other way. She's almost 19, an honors student, gifted art student, absolutely beautiful, and just ended her Freshman year at University with 4.0...in Bio-Psychology. I've always thought of Michael as part of my family. At about 6, I saw His photo, and knew I'd always known Him...for all time.
