Fame is a capricious mistress
anonymity a faithful spouse
most flirt with temptation
but die miserably in the arms of faithfulness.

Perhaps you do, we are getting to know one another 🙂 ❤ Hey, I just discovered a cool dance group–are you familiar with Maritime Bhangra? Amazing, energetic–and they do a lot for many charities. I'd like to post one of their videos…if you agree it would be a good thing. Lots of love to you ❤

Love back to you. ❤️

Great! I try to check with someone when I want to feature something/someone from another culture…these days it’s too easy to offend, and it would break my heart to be thought insensitive💝💕
