[Ansteorra] What's happening here?

[Judie Willey]

I know several, not in this kingdom , who only play for the 'cookies'  as a
matter of fact I know one who made no bones aout the fact that she wanted to
be Baroness "because of all the gifts people have to give her.

For many years, iplayed " behind the scenes", but I fgot bored with that and
have become a rather 'visable" entity...not for the "cookies" but because I
saw a of of people who were visable, doing things that made others fell
uncomfortable or like they werent wanted.
My biggest goal is to make people feel as though they belong.

OH btw, my fav cookie is macadamia chip:)
