If there's anything about the business that I love and that I'm extremely happy about, is that my career started at that time and that I met some of the greatest entertainers at that time and some are still here.

I spend 90 percent of my time saying no, and my accountant yells at me for it, but when I started in this business, I wanted my career to have legs.
Of course, when I started my career, like anyone else who was 16 at the time, we were besotted by the rock-n-roll scene from America, and all I was interested in was having a career of my own.

There Is a Time To.....
There is.......
A time to write,
A time to listen,
A time to learn,
A time to play,
A time to read,
A time to see,
A time to lead,
A time to sleep,
A time to be happy,
A time to be mad,
A time to be silly,
A time to be sad.
A time to wake,
A time to stay,
A time to talk,
A time to walk.
A time to help,
A time to hurt,
A time to scheme,
A time to dream,
A time to make a difference,
A time to love,
A time to try,
A time to die
A time to wonder,
A time to want,
A time to live,
A time to do something.
There is always going to be a time,
But will you do something when that time comes?

And i can tell by the hungry way you look
That you know just what to do
We can make it

Having cakes as a business certainly changes things for me - I don't now sit at home doing a cake for the fun of it anymore. But it's an extremely happy and pleasureable business to run because people are generally buying cakes for celebrations.

Better This Time
Last Time It Was A Secret,
Last Time Ended In Tears.
Last Time Wasn’t Official,
Last Time Didn’t Go So Great.
The Time Before That Was Even Worse,
The Time Before That I Was Depressed.
The Time Before That You Cheated Me,
The Time Before That You Didn’t Love Me.
This Time We Started Off Amazingly,
This Time There Is No Tension.
This Time It’s Official,
This Time You Asked.
This Time There Are No Secrets,
This Time We Want The World To Know.
This Time We Are Unbelievable Together,
This Time We Have Full Trust.
This Time You Spoke First,
This Time You Said “I Love You”
This Time I Have Your Heart,
This Time You Have Mine.
We Are Better This Time...

The sad news is, nobody owes you a career. Your career is literally your business. You own it as a sole proprietor. You have one employee: yourself. You need to accept ownership of your career, your skills and the timing of your moves.

Life vs Time
The greatest enemy of life is time
Time always gets in the way
No matter how much we try to avoid
It follows you around
When we laugh
When we're happy
When we're innocent
Time goes by so fast
When we're depressed
When we're blue
When we're not right
Time goes so slow
No matter how much we pray for time to go fast when we're sad
It goes slower than the three toe sloth
But life can't live without time
Time doesn't exit without life
Because there's time
Everybody tires to do things in a hurry
Thinking that time will go by fast.

A Day Of Feeling
Started the day feeling content
Feel so at peace with everything
A rare quiet time of the day
Feeling down in the middle of the day
It all started with conversation
of repair needed for the house
Follow by words exchange
& a word or two here & there
Ended the day feeling happy & sad
Happy 'cause words of love & tenderness
That always brighten up my day
Sad 'cause of drama that makes me sad
Silly though it sound, Still's the feeling there
What a day this was
Content & peace
Ups & downs
Happy & sad
All in a day

You Are the Greatest
You are the greatest
My love you are the greatest
You make all things beautiful
To me your love is wonderful
Thou feedest me
When i am hungry
Giveth me waters
To quench my thirst
You put me first
Encourage me to be the best
You are the greatest
My love you are the greatest
You visited me
When i was in jail
You encouraged me to be
The head not the tail
You are the reason
I did not fail
You are the greatest
My love you are the greatest
You are my motivation
My source of power generation
Oh my savor
You are my heart desire
Truly you are my lover
May you live forever
You are the greatest
My love you are the greatest

Maybe This Time
I look into your eyes
and think maybe this time.
Maybe this time
I won't get my heart ripped out.
Maybe this time
I won't get lied to.
Maybe this time
there will be trust.
Maybe this time
I will be in love and happy at the same time.
Maybe this time
He won't be un faithful.
Maybe this time
My tears won't come crashing down.
Maybe this time
your eyes won't lie.
Maybe this time
your smile won't trick me.
Maybe this time
Love will mean something (to the both of us)
Maybe this time
I'll have a true smile instead of a fake one.
Maybe this time
It'll work
Maybe this time
my heart won't get tossed a side and beaten.
Maybe this time
your warmth will calm me.
Maybe this time
When I'm in your arms I'll feel safe, and be safe.
Maybe this time
You will see the real me.
Maybe this time
You will be there.
Maybe this time
Whe I see you, I won't cry.
Ya....maybe this time........maybe this time.

I am just at that stage of wondering where I go from here. I came into this business almost by accident, but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun, something to do other than be a model, has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up.

I've had 79 to 80 years of show business. I started when I was 5 with a man called Tom Mix. I didn't have time to go to school because I was in silent movies, I was in radio, I was in burlesque, I worked with the circus. I'm all show business!
