Portrait of Dorothy

Please enjoy my living portrait of this lovely young lady as she has grown from infancy to adulthood (and from baby Dottie to Dorothy to Elizabeth, as she now prefers to be called).

Dorothy Elizabeth's Wedding

Today, May 10, my firstborn Dorothy Elizabeth Cilwa became married to Frank Lee Kinder, in a ceremony performed at Sedona's Red Rock Crossing. My granddaughter Cailey and grandson Zachary were ring-bearers. The ceremony was attended by immediate family members, and was followed by a short swim and then dinner at the Red Planet Diner.

Dorothy Elizabeth's Astrological Chart

Very sensitive to your surroundings, other people's feelings become your feelings. Try to avoid negative people because your tendency to empathize with them will make you negative also. An idealist, you must believe in something beyond your normal everyday existence. A dreamer, you like to escape to a world of your own creation. As such, you are known for the vividness of your imagination and should try to share your inner visions with others. Very self-sacrificial by nature, beware of others becoming overly dependent on you or vice versa. Allow yourself to live for yourself once in a while—you deserve it. Don't be so envious of those who are more aggressive than you—your gentle charity and true humility are indeed wonderful gifts.
