They are defined by utmost integrity, commitment to self & others, and an ability to continue to learn about themselves and to help me to do the same.

I am entering and fully embracing a new time in my life that is exciting, stimulating &
all the more honest and real.
Despite being fairly non-traditional in the very traditional man's world of federal law enforcement I have made my own way & created a great life.

In celebration of my 50th year, here's one more give-a-way -

Tell me about how you have committed/re-commited to living fully....
in integrity, honesty & wisdom to self.
Leave a COMMENT and become a FOLLOWER.

P.S. This month's BellaRustica proceeds go towards the Wellness and heart worm exam for the "petite" Dalmatian mentioned in previous post (returned to very loving family) and Beau's slow (successful)
9-month heart worm treatment. Contact me for details on alternative treatments.
BellaRusticaMarket will be closing at the end of January in order to pursue other dreams.
