I have known this person for 73 years.
She was born on a hot August night
in So. CA - she is my best friend and
I love her. She grew up as a Cowboy's
Daughter which began her exceptional
love of animals. She rode horses, fed
the animals and shot a 44-40 and 30-30
Remington Rifle. She has fond memories
of those days on the ranch with her Dad.
Then she married and raised a family. She
discovered that she had the writing ability
for expression. She started writing during
the years of raising her teenage children.
It released a lot of tension of being alone
while her X husband worked his late shifts.
She writes spiritually about being lifted by
the love for her God, about the emptiness
she carries deep within her soul, also about
new paths to freedom, seeing the light and
of course animals. This person loves all
around her, gravitates to strangers easily
because she has no family ties. She has
lost many of her family members and for
many years hasn't had a male figure in her
life. That is why her friendships even in a
simple email are so important to her. Having
a heart that loves the world, a personality of
helping and fixing things for people and a voice
that is in a constant chatter mode, she does
speak out, but mainly her voice in heard in her
poetry - poetry that contains her feelings...
Her name is Rhoda Galgiani
Author's Note:
I wrote this many years ago about myself and posted it on Facebook -
someone found it and re-posted this writing...I decided to
post it on 'Expressions' feeling someone might want to know
who Rhoda is...rg
