I'm just a lady with an imagination of something more. Born and raised on the East Coast of FL, then lived in Nashville, TN for four years (and loved it!) and now reside in Memphis. I am working towards somewhere I can put my toes in the sand (again) or a place I can stare at beautiful snow topped mountains... For now I really enjoy downtown living and my fantastic career working for the worlds largest womens healthcare company. Remember every day is a blessing from God and always try to enjoy it the best you can. Pray. Believe. Receive.

Wow this is pretty amazing and sad all at the same time. theladygoogle: Photo of the “Llullaillaco Maiden”, a 15 year old girl sacrificed during the Inca Empire for both purposes of religious rite and social control. She was chosen a year prior to her death, fed a ritualistic diet for an approximate twelve months to make her gain weight, then was drugged and left on the shrine at Volcano Llullaillaco, where she was left to die of exposure. For five hundred years, her body had been preserved at 82 ft. She is considered to be the best preserved Andean mummy ever uncovered.
