About Me

***"Only when we live joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means."*** ***Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands... you choose them as your guides and by following them, you will reach your destiny.***----------***Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of spendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to the next generation.***----------I'm a well-educated, refined and beautiful young business woman! Going through college in a mere 3 years and graduating before turning 21 helped too! (Over the years, I've found quite a few others that did this too----serious, focused, goal-oriented and driven!)----------I'm 5th generation Denton County, Texas ("I come from a long line of love"). My Dad's family were Cherokee and moved here after leaving Northern Georgia on the Trail of Tears. My parents were very loving and nurturing--- so that we all grew up in a stable environment. We worked hard (making our own clothing, growing and canning our own food, taking care of everything during daily "chores", etc.)--- we always had what we needed! Our grandparents lived next door--- so there was always the terrific benefit of an extended family, etc.----------I'm married to the "love of my life".... and he treats me like a queen--- putting me up on a pedestal and showering me with gifts! We have one son still living at home--- the others are older, so we would otherwise be "empty nesters". We often stay much too busy--- but thoroughly enjoy our free time! (Our business is growing and has so much potential! Being minority-owned helps too... since I'm considered Cherokee woman & primary owner!). Between business and pleasure, we are rarely apart! With the two of us together--- we're a great asset to every business situation we come across! (Watch out world, we're taking over!).----------href="http://www.pimp-my-profile.com/"

Heroes:

Jesus is #1.....he gave his life so that all the world has an opportunity to be saved and live forever in a heavenly home (hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized and live faithfully). My Dad (he passed away in mid-2006-- no one ever had a better "Daddy"... he sang to me and told me wonderful stories, along with all the other things he did with us). He was a WWII Veteran also (in Manila, Japan, etc.). All my forefathers who came before me to help make things the way they are for us today! (May we all contribute something special to make things easier and more enjoyable for others! Too many people are self-centered/ self-focused and self-serving)---------- I am grateful for all the persons who invented the following: Heating & Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, Indoor Plumbing (basically all utilities that make life easier and more comfortable). All the little day-to-day things that we have and all-too-often take for granted!--- and I also consider my husband as a hero, since he has succeeded in life despite all odds being against him. We've been through the deaths of our parents together, our home catching fire and many other tragedies. We're there for each other and each of these things has worked to make our love for one another just that much deeper! (There are many times when we thought surely life couldn't throw anything more at us---but it did). He put himself through college as a single father with a 2 year old daughter. He married again and both he and his daughter were kicked out into the streets--- but he always rose again to meet each challenge!
