Karima Gari's Profile | Create Your Badge
Once again I get to work on one of my favorite places - a place where I can share myself with you I am happy to welcome you here to Skippingthestones.
I live in Edgewood, NM which is part of the East Mountains, outside Albuquerque.
My home companions currently are Rose, my 13 year old Shih Tzu; Scooter, 2 year old Dachsund, Sufia, 2 year old rescued Shih Tzu and our guardian, River, not quite two, Anatolian Shepherd. Plus, our grey tabbies, Butch and Sundance.
My Midnight, Sarah and Ruger made there transitions to Rainbow Bridge but I know they are still around. I am also missing my beautiful horse, Khan due to horrid political circumstances and my canary, Petey who is also at the Bridge.
Khan is ten years old and he is a "sooty buckskin" whom I adopted from a local area rescue. I was taken in by my love for the horse and a lifetime of loving horses period and also a trusting nature which proved to be costly to me personally, emotionally and financially. Not crying over spilt milk because I did have the best relationship with my my dream-come-true, owning a horse. As a volunteer, I got to work with all the horse at the local home.
I am currently beginning to look forward to working in the plans for a new donkey rescue, and riding mules..what fun!!! Come on out to
Facebook for current photos and fun.

This site has gone through major changes over the last 15 years and some of the links may not work. Please be patient. I have limited time resources to work on this and do my best. The process of redoing the site is part of "letting go" of the past; things I have processed and shared for many a number of years. <
The poetry that is here will stay; it is part of me; I've been writing poetry for years and hope you find something you like here.
Inasmuch as this page was originally put together for victims of Domestic Abuse, I am including here a poem dedicated to the many women who have suffered from domestic abuse, as well as their children.
My mom was the original "Mary".
Since I opened this page, all of the fledglings have left the nest. Chaos and chatter are a thing of the past. Life as I knew it, ended in divorce. I am free to be. It is so wonderful to learn the Art of Being Me.
My life has changed so dramatically. In 2004, I battled colon cancer and am here as a testament to The Lord's promise to be there if you ask and believe He will answer and also to my hero John Wayne's "True Grit" .... we can live our dreams in a place that we love.
Hope that tintillates you and bring you back to see what I am doing. I am still doing the Dances of Universal Peace and ballroom dancing as time allows. I am a Beloved of the One God and walk my spiritual path with Trust. My wonderful grandson who has a "baby" page on this site was just 13 (oh my) in February. And I am blessed to be ale to fill my life with some of the best friends in the world.
