"Color me a rose, the rich color of purple,
Which one day will be fully grown,
Without reason to moan nor groan.
Upright, different, and strong;
With God's help, defying wind, rain and parching sun.
Survive it does until its day is done."
Which one day will be fully grown,

About The Purple Rose of Oregon
I do not consider myself a young person. Nor do I believe that I am an old one. I have experience with both. Because of this, I am a straight shooter. A few individuals have acknowledged this. I believe that genuine respect comes from being real. I have to be honest with the person I look at in the mirror. One of my sons once told me that I was complicated. I thought that meant that something was wrong with me. So, I tried to change and turned myself inside out. Today, I do not dance to the beat of everyone’s drum. Neither do I surmise that everyone will move and sway to my altruism.

Reflective Legacies
Living Legacies cross paths every single day, even if masked. Of course, some lives directly affect others, while others do not. As people, we see daily that our history can change in a heartbeat. So why not inform the younger Generations of "Z" and "Alpha" about their backgrounds? Why not instill in them LIVING LEGACIES, so they can REFLECT who they are and where they heralded from now while their hero's still live and breathe? REFLECTIVE LEGACIES open the door for real thought and communication between multi-generations.

In Your Memory
The author of the Hilenie Series Stories, Arlene M. Menkel, will always hold a special place in my heart for innumerable reasons. I learned so much from this remarkable woman. Someone dear to her once called her “A Gift in Women.” She was a humble being, so she had a difficult time comprehending why she was bestowed with that title. I had the incredible privilege of reminding her that she was a gift, and I will be forever grateful for the few short years I had with her.

Reflective Legacies is one of those books that you don't put down until it is finished. The writer of this book is well-versed in knowledge about life and what it offers.

I definitely recommend this book. It has helped me to recall the legacies that have influenced, and impacted my life, and question what my legacy will be…

Flair is the best hair and beauty salon in the city, hands down! I've been to many salons, but none of them had the same professionalism and touch as Isabella's team. Highly recommended.
