She includes pictures of her meeting one of the band members previously and of other artists performing to strengthen her request. Tara promises to get a job to pay for the tickets herself and says her friend Dean can provide transportation. She adds that extra perks are available for a small additional cost and includes a distracting picture, closing by stating this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

They went from seeing their mother everyday to only a few times a month, which was emotionally difficult. Their life became more hectic living with their father, two step-siblings, and another adult, compared to just their mother previously.

A presentation about harmony lawson 2013
- 1. A short presentation about author Harmony Lawson You see a lot about my book but don’t know anything about me. Here it is!
- 2. It’s me in the middle. I’m probably about 5 or 6. It was taken either 1982 or 1983. I wasn’t able to make the picture bigger. It became grainy. This was taken on a visit to Oklahoma. My mom and my sisters live there. I hadn’t seen them in 13 years. It was a good reunion. I grew up in Grass Valley, California in the middle of the forest. When asked if my parents were hippies, I said “No, my dad just liked nature.” I know what it’s like to have very little and to be able to survive in nature. I would consider myself a very real down to earth person.
- 3. Without going into too many details, my childhood was definitely one of survival. I started drawing about the age of 4. I’ve always been creative with a big imagination. Writing and painting comes easy to me. I was told once to choose one craft to pursue but I can’t choose between the two. It’s like choosing between air and water. When I’m not writing, I’m painting with watercolors or acrylics.
- 4. My children are definitely the best two little people to ever come into my life. They are one of a kind originals, can never be replaced or copied. My heart grows with them.
- 5. I would consider myself an honest person. I truly believe in angels and I love God. I respect other peoples belief systems for we all come from different backgrounds. I believe all belief systems come together like spokes in a wheel. I believe in treating others as I would like to be treated.
- 7. I like being silly, positive, creative, and having fun! I love the outdoors. My favorite colors are pink and purple!
- 8. I love animals. You will see a ton of animal pictures on my Facebook page. I feel animals are great stress relievers. I have a chocolate lab too but I unfortunately don’t have any pictures of him on my computer. I will add them later. Sorry Jakies! Lily Louie Jinx
- 9. May anyone who has visited my page, be blessed in many ways! If you ever have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask!
