I tend to buy unique,

spell and perfume oils,
incense,

I also admit to being a Gypsy/Bohemian. So,
too,
do I buy related eBay items.
My husband and I are mom and dad to two super black cats (Romeo and Topaz),
one classy Pekingese (Tiffany),
one macho Dachshund (Hans) and twelve gerbils (all named after the Zodiac,
except Cancer deliberately had his name changed to Polaris),
all of whom are affectionate. Our human kids are grown,
successful and independent. Things I collect

I also admit to being a Gypsy/Bohemian. Many gypsy/Stevie skirts do I own. I ADORE vintage,
especially velvet,

I cordially invite you to visit my profile at MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/avalonofthemysts. You'll come to find out much more about me here: Who I am,

My award winning home website is Donnadreamland: Visionary poetry,
philosophy and hope for a world of peace:

At Donnadreamland,
you will discover my cosmic depth. Favorite Books
Megalythic volumes of everything,
especially Dr. Wayne Dyer,
Eckhart Tolle,
William Henry,
UFO researcher/hypnotherapist/Nostradamus expert Dolores Cannon and J.K. Rawlings' Harry Potter anthologies. I'm a metaphysical,
spirituality,
sci fi,
ufology,
ancient history and paranormal studies fan,
yet my reading repertoire is eclectic and extensive. I LOVE to read books and E-books when I can filter these precious,
fleeting hours into my hectic schedule. I look forward to including several of my personal book favorites here in future days,
so that you can discover the mystical,
compassionate,
enigmatic cosmic child in time that I truly am. We grow from what we know.
Famous quote by Aristotle: 'We live in deeds,
not years; In thoughts not breaths; In feelings,
not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs.' I offer a famous quote by Teilhard de Chardin: 'WE ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS HAVING A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE. WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS HAVING A HUMAN EXPERIENCE.' Favorite Movies
My film tastes coincide with most of the above,
an archive of which I'll include here soon. I suppose Starman,
2001: A Space Odyssey,
The Secret,
Pirates of the Caribbean (Yar matie,
I'm a Jack Sparrow and Johnny Depp diehard fan!) and Harry Potter films rank in my top 100. Thanks for your patience. It doesn't cost an ounce or a penny to share your heart and compassion with many. Smile :) Take heart knowing that the BEST way to predict this world's future is to CREATE it. Spring cometh,
when a new breath of life is born. Remain grateful to be alive,
using your time doing what's best for you,
your loved ones and this precious planet. Know that you will leave the world better than when you arrived here. Indeed,
you ARE a positive force in the world. Offer your hand,
heart,
help and hope. Favorite Music/Bands
Favorite TV Shows
The Tudors,
Cosmos,
ANYTHING on the Science,
History,
NASA & Discovery channels,

Heroes,
the OC,
House,
American Idol. ANYTHING by Stephen Hawking,
Michio Kaku,
Carl Sagan and Zachariah Sitchin. Martha Stewart,
Rachel Ray,
Jay Leno,

Star Trek and more. Many of these TV personalities are my friends at MySpace. (Rumor has it that,
over the ages,
I have evolved into somewhat of a respected 'cyber-lebrity' in hallowed halls of cyberspace.) Stay 'tuned' to a higher frequency here,
transmitted from me to you,
for more of my fave TV show entries. Many thanks for your patience.
Now while I orb out of here to explore other realms on Earth and beyond,
my heartfelt hope is that your day (and future ones) be blessed with all that is best! Bright blessings! Make EVERY precious moment count while you lend someone a smile & helping hand.
With anticipation I am looking forward maintaining contact in our merry land of eBay.

Alas, all of the glorious goodies: Pizza, chocolate, lasagne, calzones, Japanese, Indian, Tai, French and German cuisine ... PIZZA ... all kinds of cheeses ... PIZZA ... all veggies ... PIZZA (Did I mention pizza)? I love to cook and create my own recipes. My mom owned and operated a bakery business for 27 years. Thus, over time I have acquired an extensive recipe archive, which comes in especially handy during the holidays and for birthdays. Now if you're in a bind and need a recipe for the upcoming holidays, you can count on me to offer you something new and unique. Although I do not overeat, like many among us I enjoy an occasional junk food 'remedy'. However, having been a varsity track runner in the 'stone age', I still tend to gravitate towards being a conscientious health food advocate (except for my fondness of pizza, lasagne and calzones ... I can't get enough of them). I am amazed that I have not yet outgrown my office chair. One fine day I might. We're only human after all!
Business InformationHistory/background
Founder, Owner, Administrator and Designer of Donnadreamland, my home website. Good will ambassador, donation appeals spokesperson and humanitarian representative for several charitable causes, on behalf of other persons, through several renowned, respected worldwide humanitarian, global relief, environmental protection and animal welfare agencies. VERY active in these. Being a licensed Web developer, I hoist a heavy anchor of work to earn my daily bread. I thrive in hyperdrive every day, in every way. Yet for many among us, there is no challenge too great, in order to assist those whom we love and appreciate. I cannot stress how vital it is for each of us to recognize and respond to this ailing planet now, no matter how trivial or modest our own contribution may seem. My own affirmation is that We CAN and WILL fulfill the world peace dream: One heart, one handshake and one hopeful, healed mind at a time. I remind myself of this always, motivating me towards essential humanitarian aid.
Contact information
At present, while we enjoy the NOW (Eckhart Tolle), some of you whom I've admirably come to know may choose to reach me by way of 'cosmic' communication. The majority of you can contact me through our efficient eBay Message Center, unless we need to exchange email addresses during our professional interfacing here in the realm of eBay.
On a separate note, for entertainment purposes I wish to share with you some of my 'Avalonisms', my own personal philosophical quotes: 'Amidst the cosmic clamor and galactic hum, from the past, present and future I have come.' and 'While we reach for the stars to one day connect with them, may we recall that we are stellar voyagers, on a timeless journey homeward as an endless, cosmic ray of benevolent being returning to the Light.' and 'Universal connection is now. Mind and spirit are the two poles upon which rests the firmament of our faculties.' As you can tell from my random, heartfelt musings, I am spiritually evolved. Enjoy an awesome day!

Avalon's Random Reflections
6-25-08 - The Divine Source gently reminds us of how Mother Nature occasionally reveals true fellowship, particularly among our animal friends. Typically, when I awake at dawn I enjoy a cup of herbal tea while savoring a frequent, splendid sunrise from my front deck, the panoramic view of which against my mountain vista leaves me breathless in awe, especially during the gloaming period. As it were, during today's early winter sunrise I observed an amazing convention of birds, of a different feather, that happened to simultaneously visit one of my gazebo bird feeders. One bird was a gorgeous male cardinal, one was a perky yellow finch and yet another was a svelte sparrow. They all convened at my bird feeder at once, happy to have discovered a fine breakfast awaiting them yet seemingly remaining oblivious to one another. This admirable scene assured me a miracle if we could ALL get along, like these awakened birds, on this precious planet. A portense of times to come? One can dream ...
