A talented, but self-absorbed, self-serving writer who is a bit like Dorothy in the "Wizard". Happiness can be found right here in your own backyard! The inner city and rural areas are in real need of charitable work-where one can roll up their sleeves and REALLY assist others. That's where real satisfaction and happiness are found-in helping others! Writing to her friends and asking them to donate her "birthday gift" money to a fund, to finance a house for someone in need is very nice, but come on! Get a grip! Generosity can go much further than just opening a wallet.
