I love to read by the fire. Or at least in the winter months, i do. Come summertime, i prefer to read wherever the central air blows. I also spend a great deal of time creating new recipes in my kitchen, and producing what has been called by many, the world's best egg roll. You can't eat just one. In my spare time, you'll find me writing, and journaling the many details of my life. Writing has always been a significant part of who i am, and i am currently at work, on what will soon become my second manuscript. I also love quiet nights at home. A good movie. Intelligent conversation. Time spent with friends and family, and romantic times alone with the one i love. I enjoy long walks, the pouring rain, my three beautiful children, and of course, a good joke every now and then.

I am open to all, but please, won't you take a moment to write, introduce yourself, and tell me how you came upon my profile, along with a little of why you would like to add me to your friends before sending me a request?
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
Gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God
That is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission
To do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson

Somewhere in Time, Multiplicity, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Identity, My Best Friend's Wedding, Ghost, The American President, The Truth About Cats and Dogs, The Sixth Sense, and American History X are some of my past favorites. I like a good story. Movies that make us feel good. That make us laugh, cry, think, and search for deeper meaning. And in the end, grateful for all the things bestowed upon us, in our own lives.
