If you are wondering at my qualifications-I graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Classical Civilization and a B.A. in history.

Here is one of my favorite quotes from Ovid's Metamorphoses that someone recently shared with me. . .

The day will come, I know
So let it come, that day which has no power
Save over my body, to end my span of life
Whatever it may be. Still, part of me,
The better part, immortal, will be borne
Above the stars; my name will be remembered
Wherever Roman power rules conquered lands,
I shall be read, and through all the centuries,
If prophecies of barbs are ever truthful,
I shall be living, always.
