KCStargazer: Julia Steffy
Talented and Creative
Julia Steffey: Writer, Astrologer, Artist, Cosmic Cook & Space ScampI began my adventures into space as a wee one- poring over photographs of space in gazetteers taller than myself, trying to make sense of the print on the page and watching mankind take a first step on the moon on television. Ah, science! It was truly an exciting time.
This love of science and a fascination with myth, symbolism and the human psyche led me to study the language of the stars: Astrology. I have studied for nearly 20 years and have been in professional practice for 12 years: writing, researching, teaching and giving talks, workshops and private consultations in the greater Kansas City area, and beyond.

Sample fare that's mild to wild, sweet to tart, raw n' rare to well-done, and creamy-dreamy to crispy-crunchy salty (even a little flaky), but always made with the most important ingredient of all- love. Hey, this ain't no freeze-dried NASA Astronaut fare! Grab a napkin and put on a bib, 'cause it's gonna get messy!

Rusty Quill
Another Creative Genius!
My name is Rusty Quill (at least that's the name on my luchbox) and here's a little bit about me: I am an on again off again writer and artist who yearns to be a full time artist, writer, or creator of crazy creations earning millions and billions using all sorts of creative endeavers. But, alas, me thinks I'd have a better chance finding a winning lottery ticket stuck to a wad of Big League Chew under a seat at Yankee Stadium. But I'm working on it. (both the creative career and the lottery ticket) I'm sure you can relate. =)

Emeritus: Zuzanna
Thanks, Ilona, For Everything!
I live in Canada, on beautiful Vancouver Island. I'm originally from Europe and love to travel. Have been to many places, enjoying each and every of them. But I have fondest memories of Greece where I spent 30 months, Hawaii and London. One of the most exotic trips, though, was a cruise at the Black Sea during the old good Soviet times...I'm an open-minded positive thinker who tries to make this world a better place to live.
My favorite book is "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy.
My favorite quote: "You can have anything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want!" [Zig Ziglar]
Ilona is turning her attention to other pressing interests and has retired her jurist seat.
She has been an enormously dedicated Squidoo lensmaster with a great deal to contribute. We look forward to seeing her back and active at Squidoo!
