    My name...
    I became a grandmother at the young age of 39, too young to be called grandma, so I became Nana. At 50, I feel so much younger, so Young nana was perfect for me.

    This is the Story behind my Name
    After giving it some thought... I decided on Bella Luna. It comes from the movie " MoonStruck" with Cher.

    I remembered the scene where the grandfather takes his beloved dogs for a midnight stroll and notices the full moon above. I loved the movie and the imagery. I have a pic of my daughter on my blog and thought it very fitting as I think she is my Bella Luna, too.

    My real name is Ines( Spanish). The English version is Agnes. I live in California where there is an area called Santa Ynez. It's a beautiful area and it's also surrounded by vineyards! It's no wonder I have a fondness for the grape!

    I think of that scene and 'That's Amore' whenever I see a full moon. We were on vacation recently, and the full moon was coming through a port of our boat so I couldn't go back to sleep, and I immediately thought of 'Moonstruck'.

    part of the path
    In a nutshell--and keeping an open mind I will tell you that Starseed's believe that
    not everyone on earth is "from" earth. As a reiki master we are considered lightworkers,
    but we are essentially in the same genre/likemindedness of starseeds. If you google
    starseed lightworkers, there are some good sites out there that explain it better without
    leading you to believe that we've gone completely around the bend.The photo I have of
    Monument Valley is a tremendously special place where just driving through it could give you an epiphany.I've been through it 4 times and it never ceases to affect me.

    Your name you picked is very
    Your name you picked is very interesting starseed. I wish mine were. LOL

    Beautiful photo!

    Say it "amazing grace", for the beautiful hymn that tells of our Savior's sacrifice, and the wonderful peace and joy of knowing Him, and the promise of seeing Him in glory when my trials end here. God's Blessings to you all. Gracie.

    My real name is not Cypress
    My real name is not Cypress or Cynthia ;-). I just love cypress trees. I have planted about 10 in my yard since Katrina. I also have an older cypress that survived Katrina without a problem and it keeps dropping seed balls that are sprouting into cypresses. Does anyone want a cypress?!
